About Extra Action Marching Band
The Extra Action Marching Band is loosely based on the American Marching Band construct. Wielding an all brass and drums instrumentation and being lead by a flag waving colorguard, they resemble a modern day drum corps but with a lot less organization.Members of the San Diego based Crash Worship started Extra Action in the mid to late 90s. Since then, the band has found new roots in the Northern Califronia Bay Area and currently boasts aproximately 35 members.
Extra Action has performed in countless protests and street festivals, but some its more notable performaces have been with David Byrne at the Hollywood Bowl where they performed "Crazy In Love" by Beyonce as the final song of the show. They have also collaborated with the Punk Rock Orchestra 2004, performing works of Iggy Pop.
In 2005 they toured with Extreme Elvis performing the entire first album of Black Sabbath.
"There's really no need to introduce the Extra Action Marching Band: The Bay Area institution has been crashing parties, invading bars, and blowing minds with its signature "high school marching band on acid" punk-meets-Sousa bombast for years now. The tuba players, flag team, and percussion section take perverse delight in twisting the staid conventions of their respective forms, and it can be downright disorienting to spot a sexy trombone player."
- Hiya Swanhuyser – SF Weekly 2005
