""... a real pleasure. Don't forget your dancin' shoes! "" (SZ, 12'04)
"" They call themselves "The funky marching band from Eastern Germany", come from Dresden, q TDBB play "Second Line Music", with horns and snaredrum, just like the original stuff from New Orleans. But these guys take it a step further. The songs breathe with the spirit of the Meters and other wild R&B funkbands from Louisiana. But this is no attempt to copy the traditional N. O. bands- their music is so full of energy and vitality, that one has no choice but to shake yours hips with a big fat grin on your face. There is no escape, because the musicians play their songs so magically fresh... "" (thr, bluesnews 01'05)
