MOCKINGBIRDS (BE) Ska
Mockingbirds
Mockingbirds was created in 1999 and today regroups 10 young musicians from Brussels. The band is composed of a blend between a rhythmic base (bass, guitar and drums), a strong wind instrument section (Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, 2 Trumpets and Trombone), a keyboard and a singer. <br><br> With more than 70 concerts which mainly take place in Belgium, but also in France and Luxembourg, the band plays incidental music which is made of an energetic, melodic and brassy mix of Ska, Surf music and Rock. <br><br> Their first album was auto produced in 2003 and was sold at 1,000 copies. The second 14 title album, for which a distributor is wanted, will be released on 28 June 2007 at an opening concert at the ‘Botanique’ in Brussels. <br><br> Mockingbirds is part of the ‘Friskyflexfellow’ association, which promotes bands from Brussels producing positive music (among them the Skamuraï Munchies and Combi Drivers for example). <br><br> The association has released 2 CD’s (Stoemp Volume 1 and 2) and has organized a number of successful concerts in Brussels, all sold outÂ… and this is only the beginning!!! Happy Happy Mockingbirds day !! <br><br>
