Primate Fiasco

Dixieland, for a start

image of artist

The Primate Fiasco is a project based out of Northampton MA. With tuba, banjo, clarinet, trumpet, drums, and vocal harmony, it's the instrumentation of a New Orleans Early Jazz band but with modern influences that tend to overpower the Dixieland feel. While the band often plays authentic "Traditional Jazz" the music that comes out of these ancient instruments is often recognized as funk, reggae, bluegrass, hip hop, rock, latin, and even trance. But the world has enough labels already. Lets keep The Primate Fiasco under the category of "music". If you want to be specific, "music to have fun to". If you want to invent a genre, "psychedelic dixieland" seems to get the point across.
