Agricoltura, Mucca Pazza: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
agricoltura | info | prezzo | dati | produzione
When I first imagined Mucca Pazza at the Tiny Desk, I honestly had no idea how the Chicago band's 23 members would fit in — in the literal sense of the term. To load-test this performance, we actually gathered a gaggle of interns behind my desk and began to stack people on cabinets, step-stools and, of course, desks.
In nearly seven years of doing Tiny Desk Concerts, with more than 400 participating acts, this turned out to be the biggest one yet. It was also one of the most fun, with Mucca Pazza performing songs from its album L.Y.A. using trombones, saxophones, trumpets, woodwinds, violin, electric mandolin, accordion, cello, guitar, sousaphone, a big bass drum, percussion instruments and more. Then there were the cheerleaders.
I first heard this giant performance-art marching band at globalFEST 2013, and Mucca Pazza's mix of cacophony, symphony and crazed frolic makes it a large, lovable renegade. The band just celebrated its first 10 years together, so if you missed the first decade, prepare to be a fan of the next. You may even be tempted to join this circus.-- BOB BOILEN

The one Who Has Wisdom Is the One Who Succeeds In Life - In this world. True WISDOM can only come from the CREATOR of all living things-Intelligent Designer. Without the Lord there is no hope and no future. Man's ideas that come from theEternal CREATOR of all that is visible AND invisible should bring HIM Glory & Honor. Otherwise, it's just another dead work.

These guys are great. Im in Milwaukee. First heard about these guys because Noah, formerly of MKE favorites Little Blue Crunchy Things (If you dont know about them, check them out!), played Bari Sax for these guys. Such a unique sound.
-
I used to be really really into this band, but ever since the original third trombonist left, the sound and vibe has just changed too much. I'm still trying to get used to it.

Me encantan, me vuelven loco!

This is a thing! But WHAT is this thing?!
-
What ....... what did I just watch?
-

Someone told this crew music should be fun, and they took that and ran with it.... and boy did they run with it.
-
They need to get with Frumptarn Gugenband.

beyond Garbage
-
I love their faces. I love how they are just playing and really making a performance beyond the music and a comedic one the whole time.
-
I F*ing LOVE these guys
-
I happened upon Mucca Pazza at an outdoor concert about 5 years ago. I was mesmerized. It's as though the musical gods mixed equal parts Bela Bartok with Frank Zappa, folded in a Big Ten marching banded, and then dosed the audience with acid. : )
-
Loved your New Year's Eve show downtown. Great venue (a freakin' old gymnasium!) I think I need to join on marching baritone? Euphonium?
-
EPIC!!! words alone can not express how much I loved this. Seriously. Fucking awesome. Props to both the band and the sound tech.
-
I was shown this amazing-ness at a dinner party. Super grateful!
