Our
latest release Critical Brass, a blistering treatment
of worldly beats echoing the streets of New York; from covers of Bollywood
soundtracks, Sun Ra, and Ellington, to raucous Gypsy dance music and even
Black Sabbath. Critical Brass also contains original
compositions from band members covering a broad array of genres. HMB's signature
sound can be heard on such recordings as the sensual "Montserrat Serrat",
the swinging "Jupanese Juju", the swirling "Vjerin Cocek"
and the grooving "Bumper to Bumper". Produced by the Hungry March Band & Jason Candler, Critical Brass was recorded in June of 2004, days after the 25-member project returned from its first European tour. Recorded at Loho Studios on Manhattan's Lower East Side, Critical Brass features the splendid artwork of local artist Troy Frantz. |

The second release, On the Waterfront , is dedicated to the endangered slice of home turf carved out of the embattled vacant lot we fondly refer to as The Peoples Park, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The East River site is currently surrounded by fencing, locked up awaiting its fate. This vanishing wildness has been the location of the HMB's weekly rehearsals for 5 years and has also hosted demolished cars, fishermen, public art, virulent urban plant life, homeless immigrants, skateboarders and has been a oasis for this vital NYC neighborhood. The CD was recorded in Williamsburg with John Gurrin as engineer. Cover art by the acclaimed LES activist artist FLY. It is available at Other Music in Manhattan, Earwax and Clovis Books in Williamsburg, On-line at CD Baby and directly from the band. |

Our virgin debut, Hungry March Band Official Bootleg, (released in 2001) consists of a series of live recordings and is considered a historical reference for exercises in wind, percussion and fluid dynamics.
