HAZMAT MODINE - "Bahamut" (2006)

 

Hazmat Modine is quite an interesting ensemble from New York. This album titled "Bahamut" was released in 2006. The band is led by a fellow named Wade Schuman who is featured on Diatonic Harmonica, Lute Guitar, Guitar, and Lead Vocals.

 

Wade is joined by Joseph Daley on Tuba (How can you not love a band that has a tuba player in it?), Pamela Fleming on Trumpet and Flugelhorn, Steve Elson on Baritone Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Clarinet, Duduk, and Flute, Reut Regev on Trombone, Flugabone, and Slide Trumpet, Erik Della Penna on Guitar, Banjitar, and Vocals, Daisy Castro playing violin and singing, and Patrick Simard on Drums & Percussion, and also doing vocals.

And trust me, they're using almost all those instruments on every song! 

Here's a link to their website. It will be well worth your time to go there.

The outstanding music from all these fine people is all over the place so I tried to pick out one song that shows the depth of their musical knowledge, and this is the one I came up with.
