NO BS! Brass plays impromptu set in the streets of Paris

by | Aug 2, 2016 | MUSIC

Richmond’s own NO BS! Brass Band is currently on a European tour with dates in Croatia, Germany, Italy and, as seen in the video below, Paris, France.

Richmond’s own NO BS! Brass Band is currently on a European tour with dates in Croatia, Germany, Italy and, as seen in the video below, Paris, France.

“C’EST TRES MAGNIFIQUE!” wrote trombone player John Hulley in a text message when asked how the tour was going. “ZUT ALORS!”

I don’t speak french but I’m guessing that means good things.

“No BS is having a great time in Paris. We had a great show in Italy. We had a great show in Croatia,” wrote frontman Reggie Pace in the same chat convo, thankfully in English. “No BS Worldwide! Baba Booey! Baba Booey!”

And incase your curious if the massive brass band’s legendary big-band sound transfers well over seas, check out the video below to see for yourself.

Have fun, boys – keep making RVA look good and bring us back some fancy cheese.
