Black Umbrella Brigade February 21, 2011

Black Umbrella Brigade: The sarcastic nature of the name alone says it all. Should you ever drunkenly stumble upon them at a live gig, in the Windy City or abroad, you're certain to be startled, bewildered, amused. And you'll probably want to dance, too. Singer-songwriter Zonada hand-picked the raucous BUB to help assemble the patchwork of eclectic genres that compose the project's versatile sound, from klezmer to swing to German beerhall-style sing along. If you're lucky enough to see the full band in action, if nothing else, you'll find a whole new appreciation for the tuba. - Kenneth Witzgall.
