Banger after banger after banger! Perth’s fan favourite Brass Party brings an EPIC energy to the Ellington with their latest show ‘Brass Party: Into the Bangerverse’.
The world premiere offers a high energy, vibrant performance featuring live horns and a killer band as this team of musicians expertly navigate an eclectic repertoire of iconic film scores - there ain’t no party like a Brass Party!
Committed to exploring the true essence of the Bangerverse, these talented musicians donned costumes from across their setlist from School of Rock, The Incredibles, Disney, Star Wars, Chariots of Fire and Shrek. Trumpeter Matt Smith offered a strong commitment to the Shrek costume - green paint and all, in fact, the Shrek medley alone is worth getting a ticket for!
Led by brilliant frontman James Sewell on sax, Brass Party showcases incredible solos across the whole brass section, with each instrumentalist offering that PHAT bass to renowned cinematic masterpieces. Additional instruments were added across the set with a flute setting the nostalgic tone to ‘My Heart Will Go On’, you couldn’t help but feel the essence of Jack and Rose in the room. Not only were the brass absolutely killing it but there was impeccable shredding from guitarist Spider-Dan Garner, excellent drums from Ryan Daunt and Gwyneth Gardiner’s light sabre bass guitar must be seen to be believed!
The highlight is Brass Party’s take on School of Rock, already an incredible score of music and an award-winning musical, these 8 musicians hit the mark perfectly as the audience knew what to do singing, “JUST GET ME TO SCHOOL ON TIME”.
With a jam-packed calendar performing across Perth, Brass Party continues to wow audiences as a local phenomenon, headlining venues across the city and supporting New Orleans Grammy award-winning jazz legends, The Hot 8 Brass Band, for Perth’s International Jazz Festival.
‘Brass Party: Into the Bangerverse’ is a must-see, delivering an unforgettable fusion of live music and the silver screen that will leave you stomping for an encore.
