The Asphalt Orchestra

asphalt orchestra live 500x375 The Asphalt Orchestra

Noah Scalin recently designed the logo for alternative marching band The Asphalt Orchestra at Another Limited Rebellion, and writes:

They play songs by Björk, Frank Zappa, and Swedish metal band Meshuggah to name a few composers that you won’t hear on the usual school band roster.

Their first gig was in front of Lincoln Center, and video can be seen here, and here.   Their high-profile debut, and mentions in major press, like the New York Times, lead fellow HONK! Festival organizer Trudi Cohen to comment that “producing and funding a band like this” substantiates the notion “that street music has actual cultural credibility!”
