The Expandable Brass Band leads the Gazette’s story on the Hot Chocolate Run:

Music, community, revelry coalesce for a serious cause at Hot Chocolate Run, Daily Hampshire Gazette, December 2.

Sunday morning, when thousands of people gather in downtown Northampton for the eighth annual Hot Chocolate Run for Safe Passage, it shouldn’t be too hard to pick out The Expandable Brass Band. They’ll be the ones toting sousaphones, trumpets, saxophones and drums…

We’ll also be making a lot of noise! See you on Main Street Sunday morning.

A blast from the past: During the 2010 edition of Honk!, the EBB teamed up with the BLO to play with the boys and girls of the Blue Hill Club.

Several clips of us (and one clip of the Seed and Feed Marching Abominable) at Honk!

Thanks to Shady and Laurie for the recording!

Check out the full album.

The Expandables are excited about Honk!, the festival of activist street bands. We and 26 of our bestest friends are filling the streets of Somerville and Cambridge with free music the first weekend in October.

On Saturday the first, we play two sets: 2 PM in Kenney Park and 5 PM at Davis Square Plaza. On Sunday the second, we join in a parade at noon from Davis Square down Mass Ave. to Cambridge Square. Then, at 2:15, we play a set for the Octoberfest in Winthrop Park. Confused yet? Check out the full schedule to get all the details.

Check out the full set.

The EBB will lay down some funky fanfares for Royalty at Transperformance 21, Tuesday, Aug. 30, in Look Park. Stay tuned for more details.

The Expandables take on downtown Northampton as part of the annual Sidewalk Sale. We start at 12:15 at the Courthouse. Who knows when and where we’ll stop!

The EBB sounds sea songs by the seashore. Join us at 7 PM on the beach in Madison, CT.
