McNasty Brass Band

**McNasty Brass Band** is a high-energy New Orleans-based ensemble that’s been shaking up the brass band scene since their formation in the early 2010s. Known for their gritty, genre-blurring sound, they mix classic NOLA second-line traditions with hip-hop, funk, and jazz, creating a party-ready vibe that’s impossible to resist. The band’s core lineup features powerhouse horns, a tight rhythm section, and a knack for crowd-pleasing covers and original bangers alike. Recent releases like *Hindsight 2020* and *King Size Life* showcase their ability to balance social commentary with feel-good grooves, while *Duluth* and *MNBB* (likely a self-titled nod) highlight their rootsy, collaborative spirit. Whether they’re tearing up festivals like Jazz Fest or popping up in viral videos, McNasty brings that raw, unfiltered energy that makes New Orleans brass music timeless.
