Extra Action Marching Band

“It’s hard to convincingly argue that a background in high school marching band competitions is actually cool. At least, it’s hard with words, but the Extra Action Marching Band, a mobile San Francisco Bay Area institution of brass and drums, routinely proves its potential for unparalleled hipness in those cumbersome instruments and weird helmets that so many awkward teenagers gravitate toward for a sense of belonging. The Extra Action Marching Band features flag spinning, varying degrees of nudity, and, if a recent sighting can be believed, fake body parts grotesquely affixed to exposed skin. Cabaret flair crossed with paradiddle glee and wheezing horns — it’s John Philip Sousa’s nightmare, the stifled band geek’s dream, and an ensemble format typically associated with militarism and authority twisted into the service of chaos.” — East Bay Express

DISCLAIMER: This band may unload awesomesauce all over your eyes and up in your ears. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
We are an all-female Oingo Boingo cover band. (Notice we didn’t say “tribute”, you sniveling little weasels!)

Mala Greña
https://www.facebook.com/MalaGrenaBand/
Mala Greña’s music fuses the bailado, rhythm and percussion of cumbia, chicha, zapateo, salsa, and other latinoamerican rhythms with the unconventional song structures, timings and gritty guitar lines of progressive and experimental rock music.
