Environmental Encroachment

**Environmental Encroachment** is a delightfully eccentric Chicago-based experimental brass band that’s been blending jazz, funk, punk, and circus music into a chaotic sonic stew since forming in the late '90s. Known for their wild live performances, the group combines marching band energy with avant-garde theatrics, often sporting quirky costumes and surreal props that match their offbeat sound. Their music—captured in tracks like "Downtown Skunk" and "Electric Bunnyland"—revels in whimsical absurdity, with recurring rabbit-themed antics (see: "We're Only in It for the Bunny" and "Bunny XII") that nod to their love of surreal storytelling. A fixture at street festivals, art parties, and underground DIY spaces, Environmental Encroachment thrives on bending genres and embracing the joyfully bizarre. 🎺🐇
