These guys are great and really defy categorization (The closest i can come is A New Orleans Brass Band Jazz with a dash of bop, blues, calypso, and anything else that strikes their fancy. ) The Roxy typically has 2 shows one around 7-8 ish and one around 10-11 ish. **Go see them**, you will be glad you did. Tickets can be had at ticketmaster which is in most music plus record stores and many May CO. dept. stores. in So. Cal. I am picking up my tickets at lunch today -mike h.
