Intergalactic Brasstronauts to play Alexander’s Live in May

Thursday, 3 February 2022 18:12

Intergalactic Brasstronauts are commencing a tour of UK grassroots venues next week. They're coming to Alexander’s Live, in Chester, on 26th May 2022.

With their transglobal rhythms, heavy bass section (comprising sousaphone and contrabass clarinet), blistering solos and sci-fi theme, Intergalactic Brasstronauts are far from your typical brass band.

This 12-piece outfit, from Yorkshire, draw on a wide range of influences including dub, reggae, jazz and electronica. The band is the brainchild of producer and composer Sam Thornton, a.k.a. King Zepha, and he called on the mighty New York Brass Band (regulars at Glastonbury, Cork Jazz Festival & Rio Carnival) to provide the horsepower.

Their debut album, Music For The People, released in July 2021, was supported by Arts Council England and has been described as “infectious and seriously funky”.

Tickets for their gig at Alexander's Live, at Rufus Court in Chester, on 26th May 2022 are available now at:
