Insomnia Brass Band

„…it’s great fun, you want to dance pogo to it. More of this please!“ Hans-Jürgen Schaal, Jazzthetik
„Calypsomanic vitality in XXL“ Rigobert Dittmann, Bad Alchemy

Anke Lucks – trombone
Almut Schlichting – baritone saxophone
Christian Marien – drums

Playing and moving, moving and playing, on trains and on stages, between the mountains and the sea, adventurous in music and on the road: this has been the life of Berlin`s Insomnia Brass Band since the release of their debut album – „Late Night Kitchen“ – two years ago. All of this is reflected in music and title of their high-energy second album: „Road Works“.

Trombonist Anke Lucks and baritone saxophonist Almut Schlichting began their collaborative work in 2017, with drummer Christian Marien coming aboard a year later.

The three musicians created a miniature brass band, juggling shifting rolls, toggling between rhythm and melody as they traverse a beguiling landscape of free jazz, funk, punk rock, and New Orleans brass band traditions. Collectively, they have been spending an increasing amount of time pushing and stretching their original tunes with a mixture of improvisational brio and body-moving funk. more
