Horns

[LegendShark]

Rec me some music with horns. I fucking love them.

Actually any brass instrument will do.

[Shadow]

Do you mean ska shit music? :mad:

[Cee Pee]

This thread needs more cowbell.

Not necessarily. Just a band that utilizes horns.

IMO, modern bands are too confined to the bass/guitar/vocals/drummer combonation where the only variety is number of guitars or the use of a keyboard.

And brass instruments in general give me a hard on.

Tower of Power. All soul music, too.

Sublime, of course. Flobots has some non-conventional instruments.

Well I am a fan of black people.

Sublime is ok. I don't know why I haven't checked out Flobots yet, I love that one song about the handlebars.

[Zerg]

[MoD]

Listen to jazz moar.

[notallama]

first thing that springs to mind is "please heat this eventually"

also jamiroquai and xavier rudd (if you count didgeridoo as a horn).

[Jabby]

i'll cut your head off if you listen to beirut

Theolonius Monk

Listen to beruit.

[Fluke Hawkins]

Listen to CAKE. Go the distance. It's awesome.

[Psion]

Ball of Flame Shoot Fire.

[LegendShark]

Listen to CAKE. Go the distance. It's awesome.

I've already got all of CAKE's albums. Its kind of what propelled me to find more music with random instruments.

And IMO The Distance isn't the greatest of Cake.

This is pretty much why I got into symphonic metal. They'll have organs, actual piano (rather than bands that use keyboards for the electric piano sound a la powermetal), flutes, choirs, all sorts of random shit and it's just a breath of fresh air from most stock bands.

As far as music with horns in it, all I can think of is some jpop I listen to occasionally, CAKE (which has been mentioned like 50 times in this thread already) and actual orchestral music. Brass doesn't get a lot of love, unless you like the saxophone in which case I assume you already know you have options.

[Naga]

I expected this to be about playing horns.

I play baritone and trombone.

[RC]

Hobo Jazz. Look em up.

[Psion]

Naked City.

Streetlight Manifesto - Would you be Impressed

[Kant]

Big D
the Specials
The English Beat
Vampire Weekend (are they just strings? they have some weird ass instruments)

[Kant]

What?

??

I've offended you in some way, haven't I.

[Kant]

You mentioned Vampire Weekend and then said that they use a lot of weird instruments, which is precisely what I hate about Vampire Weekend. Not that they use weird instruments (they really don't) but that random people that don't know that much about music assume that since they use random instruments they're some kind of ingenious pioneers when really they're so fucking ripping off so many different people that it's unreal.

I'M SHADY.

I CARE A LOT ABOUT THINGS WHICH DON'T MATTER.

RARRRR

Mostly, I think Vampire Weekend is fun to listen to, but I don't understand how people actually like them anymore than they like, say, breathing.

I was saying that if the OP wanted to listen to something that wasn't the usual bass/guitar/vocal/drums, then he could go for Vampire weekend, because they have some weird instruments.

I imagine, however, that you could state 8 or 20 far cooler bands which did the shit that Vampire Weekend did like 10 years ago but never got appreciated because they never SOLD OUT like Vampire Weekend.

[notallama]

that's what creativity is, though: stealing ideas.
(and making slight changes/mixing another stolen idea in)

[Kant]

They sound different than a usual band.

That's what the OP asked for.

I am sorry that I am not hip enough

[Kant]

That's what I meant.

The bands that I listen to that no one knows are pretty 'mainstream' in as far as they're bass/guitar/bass/vocals/drums, besides the Easy Star All Stars, there's nothing crazier than that in my repetoir.

Ball of Flame Shoot Fire.

This, again, because I know no one knows who they are / pursued them. BUY THEIR ALBUM ON CD BABY GO! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIdssqDisTc

Saw them with Man Man, phenomenal show. Also listen to Man Man, they use horns.

Streetlight Manifesto - Would you be Impressed

Srsly, streetlight manifesto is good if you want horns.

[RC]

I tried to get my friend to play his sax in his punk band. It would have worked.

[Penner]

Try The Cat Empire- Fishies. Cat Empire uses brass fairly often if you want to check them out.

[Captain Piano]

Getcher stank on wit some funk.

Check out the Ohio Players.

Also, can you be more any more specific. "Horns" is an incredibly vague term, spanning everything from obscure indie rock to old classical music.

[LegendShark]

The point is that its vague. I like all types of music.

Ok.

[mrs_bun]

Caring a lot is good.

[Kant]

Fuck, I forgot Cat Empire.
