Sometimes a dream comes true. The two hottest brass bands in New Orleans marched for the 2017 Goodfellas Social Aid and Pleasure Club Second Line yesterday. New Breed Brass Band, formed in 2013, rolled out three trumpets, two trombones, a sax, a tuba and a bass drummer for the parade.

It was on November 17 2013 at the Nine Times S&P Club’s parade that New Breed first marched as a unit on the streets.

While New Breed is nipping at their heels, nobody will dispute that Hot 8 are the kings of the streets right now in New Orleans. It’s hard to believe these guys have been playing for over 20 years. Terrell “Burger” Batiste was missing in action but the rest of the crew blasted the clouds out of the sky as they brought up the rear of the second line.
