Fusion Friendly: Cirque Eugene, 8pm, Cozmic. $5. du Look out Eugene, some real Southern hospitality is headed to us all the way from the streets of the French Quarter. The boisterous, Grammy award- winning funked-up Rebirth Brass Band is set to crash land at WOW Hall. This highly evolved amalgamation of funk, jazz, soul and traditional brass band music puts on a hair-raising and loud stage show that will have you wondering why you haven’t headed to the Big Easy recently. With 30 years of live performing under their belts, these veteran troubadours have the chops and the horn-power to blow you away. Sharing the stage will be New Orleans indie- rock sensation The Revivalists, a band whose music is the perfect, slightly quieter complement to the in-your-face style of RBB. We suggest nabbing your tickets for this one soon — it will be thick in there when these bands hit the stage, and there will be dancing in the hall. Rebirth Brass Band play with The Revivalists 9 pm Thursday, April 5, at WOW Hall; $18 adv., $20 door. 14 MARCH 29, 2012 EUGENE WEEKLY WWW.EUGENEWEEKLY.COM • BLOGS.EUGENEWEEKLY.COM
