Slavic Soul Party!
Description
Of all the NYC dance bands that draw on Eastern European music, Slavic Soul Party! is the coolest. And the group isn’t preoccupied with rebelling against the Old World. Live, the band’s members prove they are acutely aware of the common principle that unites the traditions they borrow from: Music ought to move you. We predict you won’t be able to resist moving to the band’s latest live-wire release, Taketron.

I just caught Veveritse Brass Band. I had been looking forward to the Slavic Soul Party for a few months.The vibe was tremendous, but the percussion section was atrocious. Given that Veveritse plays percussive, rhythmic Balkan music, this was a surprise. A surprisingly poor act for the extraordinary mainstays at Barbes. They need to get in the rehearsal space and practice. I don't plan on coming back for it, though.
