Daily Fix: NO BS Brass Band covering Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”

by | Dec 30, 2009 | COMMUNITY

There is a recipe for a guaranteed good time in Richmond, and it involves two main ingredients- the NO BS Brass Band, and… and… wait, sorry. A live performance by NO BS is the only thing you need to have a blast. If you’ve never seen them live, do so immediately. Their music is high-energy, new-school brass music, with a fantastic catalog of originals and a few awesome covers/interpretations in their massive catalog, as well. They play at The Camel on a pretty regular basis, so it’s always a good idea to check their schedule. They’re playing ArtSpace (at PlantZero) this New Year’s Eve. Here is their cover of The One-Gloved Wonder‘s epic Thriller.
