Slavic Soul Party!

Our old friend Chris Stromquist plays snare drum in Slavic Soul Party, an amazing nine piece brass band that ripped it up last night at a little bar in Park Slope called Barbés. Chris is over on the far left in these photos. The band was really fun, the room was snug, the vocalist introduced songs by saying things like, "this is an old Hungarian tune, sung in the Macedonian style..." and since they play at this bar every Tuesday, we'll definitely go when you visit. Chris played drums for UHQ, including our west coast tour in 2002, which we fondly reminisced about last night. We're happy to have connected with an old friend in NYC!
