Lighting up Roc City with some Po'Funk!

Hey, Po'Fans! The Po'Boys Brass Band has two shows on Saturday evening. Cause we just love playing for six straight hours!

At 9:30pm, we'll be at our regular haunt, Abilene (153 Liberty Pole Way, Downtown).
Admission is only $3. But, it's FREE if you bring a couple canned goods.
This show is to benefit Catholic Family Center's Food Pantry. So, let's all pitch in! On Facebook? RSVP to the Event, and invite your friends!
And, if you still haven't purchased our new CD, we'll have 'em here (with t-shirts and posters, too). (Can't make it? Buy online!)

If you've got some extra cash in your pocket, and you want to support some seriously important culture in our fair city, you should check out our earlier engagement.
At 7pm, we'll be performing at ArtisanWorks to benefit the Hochstein School of Music and Dance. The event is called "A Night in the Big Easy." Did they hire the right band, or what?

There's gonna be Creole food, a fortune-teller, street artists, a silent auction, and lots of other NOLA-inspired stuff. And, of course, dancing to PBBB! It's a $50 ticket which can be purchased by calling 585.454.4403. All the details are here.

Now that the weather's FINALLY getting nice, we know you're itching to let loose with some funk. So, come and get it!

Sellout, featuring Alyssa Coco available as a FREE Download

We're happy to announce the release of our second single, Sellout featuring Alyssa Coco. Alyssa is the amazingly talented lead singer of Rochester band Tinted Image. You might remember her as Rochester's darling a few years back on American Idol. Tinted Image is going places, and we're super-lucky to have been able to collaborate with Alyssa before she's a mega star. We know you'll like her work. You can download Sellout for FREE today!

IMP Presale Glitch will be Resolved Today

It was brought to our attention last night that there was a glitch in our website shop. Apparently when people clicked to preorder Intergalactic Mustache Parade for the fantastic preorder price of $10.99, the cart would show that you owed $14.99. The good folks at Nimbit are on it, and the issue should be resolved today. Be sure to check the store and preorder your copy of IMP while it's still only $10.99!

We're Going to Debut Several IMP Tracks LIVE on the air!

On Sunday, March 13th, the PBBB will be live and in-studio on the Sunday Night Shakedown with Frank de Blase in Rochester, NY (98.9 FM). This will be your chance to hear tracks from the album before the official release. Not in Rochester? No problem! You can stream live from any computer here.

Enjoy the new single y'all!
