"A band called Knucklebean." - The New York Times

About Me

From the distant shores of New York City, Knucklebean is a big band improv monster known to make out with its victims before eating them. With one foot in the avant garde and one foot on the dancefloor, Knucklebean's bumpin', horn-filled adventures sound like scary, beautiful dreams.
"Local big band Knucklebean combines avant-garde skronk with rubbery funk and soul-jazz grooves." - Time Out New York
"The improvising collective Knucklebean noisily shares a bill." - The New York Times
"I would like to check them out sometime, it was just too late for me." - Terri's Music Blog
