I love that the vibe here is largely "Band kids turned punk" with crazy hair and clothes, and then you just have this Wall Street banker looking dude absolutely shredding a trombone.

[@ScottLawson1]

I would absolutely be that trombone dude. Everyone else kinda punk and chill. I show up in khakis and a polo shirt, but can still wail (not like I used too though, and not anywhere near as well as that trombone dude).

The talent on display here is just completely insane. I would find very difficult to watch during a minute, and move on. I would stay there for the complete show, even if it meant for me to be fired. Damn, I just love the good vibes. These lads deserve a lot more recognition.

Saw them live pre-covid and can attest, the 'boner was super high-energy. Amazing show.

[@pusheen_playz7172]

why aren’t top notch talented individuals/bands like these getting the spot light in the music world instead of shake and bake manufactured “bands” who all happen to be model like in appearance and have almost zero musical talent other than doing blue steel at the camera and knowing how to use autotune . I would pay good money to see these guys or similar. Actual peformers .

[@twistedmovies8782]

​@@pusheen_playz7172 because no one should ever have three Barry's in a single room for any reason. Plus no one can make money off of brass instruments. Music is dead.

We saw Too Many Zooz live in Edmonton - easily the most fun of any live music act or concert I've been to. Maybe not the best venue or the biggest crowd, but the most fun, for sure.

After 37 years of working for NYCTA and retiring, Now spending 6 months of the year in New Orleans and finding the soul of Nola in instruments of brass. Seeing this Krewe belting out music like this in the Subway on 34th St brings a smile to my face and warms the heart. Living upstate NY the other 6 months with occasional forays into the Big Apple, I’m reminded of why a big part of my heart will always belong to NYC. Great performance peeps! Rock On! 👍🏻🍻❤️😎

[@BaronEvola123]

Cupla things: firstly, thank you. NYCTA workers are, by far as a group, the best and without a doubt, the most underappreciated. For years I used to play on the streets and in the subways. These guys are a whole new level of entertaining. In New Orleans, the guys to see are Tuba Skinny.

[@shorty332]

If Leo P is back, Lucky Chops will absolutely eat the Soul Rebels and Hot 8. I mean, both brass bands are extremely talented but not this level.

I love you guys, you are breaking new ground in music. I’m 67 and my children and their friends love it too (some still confused, but they all will eventually admit it’s some hot stuff) KEEP IT UP! More people need to see Leo P, and his associate performers. I’m doing what I can to help in that regard.😂❤😂❤😂

Saturday night it was my extreme pleasure to be in attendance at the Stone Pony for their Lucy Moon Zooz tour. What a banger of a show. Nothing quite like what I have been to elsewhere. They ripped for us for 3 hours. I hope they go huge and go far. And uh, they need to charge more for a ticket. :D

I have listened to the original version of this same mashup by Lucky Chops at least a hundred times in the car with my kids. Lucky Chops is our go to band for car trips and this one is often requested. My youngest has recently taken up sax, bi doubt partly due to his love of lucky chops. Just browsing youtube today and this one pops up and I need to stop everything I am doing and watch this new version. 3 Bari's in one band!!! I am a trombone player and have always admired the way he plays.
