\u201cBrothers Hypnotic<\/em>\u00a0will restore your faith in humanity, bring a tear to your eye, a heavy stomp to your right foot and, possibly, make you curse your parents for not forcing you to wake up at the crack of dawn for tuba practice.\u201d – CBS<\/p>\n

“A film about being true to your roots and cutting the strings,” wrote Robert Lloyd in the LA Times<\/em><\/a>, “and values passed on and values transformed, beautiful to behold and exciting to hear.”<\/p>\n

Now prepare yourself for the film by horn-ing in on some samples of the band’s funky music.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Update (4\/15)!<\/em><\/span> Brand new video from Hypnotic Brass Ensemble:<\/p>\n

Hypnotic plays with \u00a0legendary Nigerian drummer, composer, and songwriter Tony Allen, in this mix of behind the scenes stuff and awesome music:<\/p>\n

In the film you see the band touring Ireland; here’s footage from their show at the end of European tour, in Bruges, Belgium. (Taken by someone at the show, the sound quality isn’t amazing but it’s otherwise quite good.)<\/p>\n
