Hey Phoenix, what about best marching band?
The Providence Phoenix is polling for the Best of Issue, the categories are kinda weird this year. So how do you vote for your favorite marching band? Well there's only one place to vote for a band of any kind, cover band. Hey we do a few covers, put us in there. Or you know maybe you think we're really the best cupcake, whatever floats that boat of yours. Vote early & often!
Yelp digs ERB!
We partied with the local Yelpers at the Salon last week. When you play a party with a bunch of folks who review stuff locally you've got to wonder what will be written afterwards... the reviews are trickling in and ERB was a hit!
A grown up marching band geek adults jamming out on their instruments to Smooth Criminal? AMAZING. I loved sitting on the picnic table under the standing trombonist rocking out! They were the perfect entertainment and so energetic -- made me pine for my old high school band days ;-)
Thanks for the kind words Kristine. If that pining continues, drop us a line!
the Extraordinary Rendition Band was a super fun, unadulterated kick in the ass of energy
That's right Cherie, we're nothing if not unadulterated!
ERB was so fun and unexpected, and great to see them again after HONK on Columbus day!
Nice to see you too Brittany.
ERB was awesome, and can't wait to book them for a future event or two.
Hey David see that link at the top of the page that says Booking? Get clicking...
The people were friendly, the music was good, ERB was an unexpected blast, and the Salon is a cool place!
Unexpected again? Andrew do we resemble a certain Inquisition?

Serenade your sweetheart
Music! the language of love and desire....The Extraordinary Rendition Band has found itself with an excess amount of love on hand that it needs to redistribute as soon as possible! The band has also found itself with a rather large airfare bill for the HonkTx! show coming up in March. What to do?Oh I know! You could hire us to serenade your sweetheart. I've heard this makes one hellava Valentines day gift. Chocolates are sweet, roses are lovely, but launching a marching band at the object of your desire, that's something you don't recover from once the box is empty.Drop us a line if you're interested.[si-contact-form form='3']
