"Now, more than ever, we need to brass against the machine. At least that's what founding guitar player Brad Hammonds thought during the first Trump administration."
"Taking popular rock songs, Brass Against covers them with-that's right-brass instruments, transforming everyone's favorite tracks into unique, almost new tunes."
"After all, like the tour is called, "What better time than now?" It's going to be a weekend of getting down with the sound and being relieved everyone can still celebrate the good times."
Founding guitar player Brad Hammonds conceived "brass against the machine" during the first Trump administration. Brass Against reimagines popular rock songs by performing them with brass instruments, creating unique, horn-driven versions that refresh familiar material. The group's covers of Rage Against the Machine's "Wake Up" and System of a Down's "Toxicity" showcase aggressive rock transformed into bold brass arrangements while retaining original intensity. The tour titled "What better time than now?" emphasizes timely energy and communal release. A scheduled performance: Brass Against, Tue, Sept 23, 8pm, $40 at the Guild Theatre in Menlo Park, featuring a rendition of "Killing in the Name."
