The Fairey Band (Acid Brass)
Sunday
Acid Brass is the brainchild of concept artist Jeremy Deller. It is the unlikely fusion of Acid House anthems with the sound of a traditional British Brass Band, the result of which has received much appreciation from varied audiences across Europe and beyond. Since its conception in 1998, Acid Brass has been performed in locations such as the Tate Modern (London), The Louvre (Paris), and at many large popular music festivals across Europe. It continues to be enjoyed by music and art lovers and provides The Fairey band with the opportunity to reach new and unfamiliar audiences. The foundation for this music is explained by Deller's own drawing entitled 'A History of the World', showing how although despite first appearances the two movements are clearly linked through their social and political settings.
