“20th Anniversary Concert”
Kamikaze Ground Crew

Bernstein, Noah Bless, Marcus Rojas and Kenny Wollesen
Wednesday, November 1 • 8pm
$25 GA
“By turns an oom-pah-pah circus band, an earnest
pit orchestra, and a bluesy jazz septet.” —The
New York Times
Any résumé that begins "Founded in 1983 as
pit orchestra for the juggling Flying Karamazov Brothers"
has hipness credibility to spare. With a powerful horn section
that boasts Sex Mob’s Steven Bernstein (trumpets) and
Peter Apfelbaum (saxophones) the band is fearless in its high-wire
explorations.
“(W)ith brasses, saxophones and drums, it is by turns an
oom-pah-pah circus band, an earnest pit orchestra and a bluesy
jazz septet...The Kamikaze Ground Crew juggles styles as easily
as the Karamazovs juggle cutlery," wrote The New York
Times.
