Mucca Pazza
The most exuberant punchline possible to what sounds like a very bad joke, twenty-seven musician and three-cheerleader “punk marching band” Mucca Pazza has taken its exuberant stomp far beyond its single notorious Conan O`Brien appearance. One of the most charming visions, besides the triumphant Hideout Block Party appearance is last March’s invasion of the streets of Columbia, Missouri, during the True/False Documentary Film Festival. How do they describe their sound? “Oompah-oompah-oompah-pah! Toot-toot! Doo-doo-doodoo-doo! Honk! Boom-bap boom-boom-bap!” The band`s MySpace Music page is filed under “Big Beat/Surf/Punk.” And: “Punk Circus Marching Band.” And: “Nerd-Core (Nerd Corps?)” And “dork-ass sexy.” (We`re fine with all that.)
