Ladies and Gentlemen, the Hot 8 Brass Band are back!!
The new double A-side digital single "Ghost Town" / "Let Me Do My Thing" is out now, announcing the emphatic return of New Orleans' premier purveyors of roof-raising, jazz-infused, hip hop-fired marching band music, straight from the heart and fresh from the second line parades.
Featuring a cover version of The Specials' classic, alongside an original song, this single is the first taste of Hot 8 Brass Band's eagerly awaited second album, 'The Life And Times Of...' which follows on 12th November, and marks their first full LP since 2007's highly acclaimed debut 'Rock With The Hot 8' put them on the global stage.

[@TheProhetess]

How I know you, 9/15/23 Austin City Limits ft. Jon Batiste ❤

[@gsian187]

As a person from Coventry, its great to hear this cover of the Specials.

[@TheSpikehere]

As someone who saw The Specials perform this at the Northern Carnival Against the Nazis back in '81, I can only say this is wonderful.

[@jacoblebakeng2128]

Unfortunately those times are back in full swing

[@GeorgiaHeard]

N'ola, no matter what condition, you are always the jewel of our nation. We need you to stay human.

[@henrikhupe7881]

Words can't describe how much I love this song. Big up and long life to the Hot 8.

[@hailtothevic]

Found about this band by accident. Best. Mistake. EVER!

[@dlrook95]

Anthony Anderson groovin with that bass drum, and Forrest Whitaker dancing at the end. Love it!

[@raffordonianbear]

This shows what good music can do. Origionally by The specials but years later anew twist and the meaning of the song is still powerful and in context especially because of Katrina

[@josephinewinter]

i'm british and this sends chills down my spine (that song was huge in my childhood)

[@GeorgiaHeard]

This never fails to blow my mind. Y'all blow my mind!

[@abrilcabrera9105]

Listen to WWOZ online. They play mostly local music, and they have the playlists online. Write down what you like, and listen to The Live Wire - a listing every odd hour of all that nights live music. Thats online too.
