    HEY! what about the raffle? where are my tickets!!?? :-)

    [MYSPACE.COM]:
    WIN US IN A RAFFLE
    Current mood: drunk

    That’s right, you can win all 18 of us in a raffle. for a measly two bucks you could do all sorts of things with an 18 piece marching band. Yeah, ther are some rules, but you can check them out and buy raffle tickets at:

    whatcheerbrigade.com

    So what are you waiting for? What the hell!? You never wanted a marchig band following you around ala black cat/white cat, or underground? Yeah, you know you have.

    What Cheer? was possibly the best thing about Saturday’s historic preservation conference in Providence. Certainly the least expected pleasure. I am deeply impressed by the 9AM performance.

    Hi mates ! I just discovered you on http://www.brasscast.com. What a surprise for such a formal podcast, but i enjoyed the sound and the interview. We’ve got a lot of brass bands like yours in France, but you do have a ‘je ne sais quoi’ which makes you very special. And i’m very glad you went to Guca this year because that’s the best trip i would advise to any brass band. I went there 2 years ago with my band ! Did they stick banknotes on your forehead to order a tune ? Did you attend the duel-like final competitions in the stadium ? Well, congratulations for going there ! I look forward to seeing you back in Europe asap !

    November 8, 2007 at 4:48 pm

    Hello from GREECE .I am the photografer Vrettakos Alexander who sent you the photos from Guca.I can sent you for free the original photos.Please let me now your adress.I engoy your music very much!!!

    October 10, 2007 at 1:58 pm

    you guys killed honkfest, in a good way of course. amazing performances both days…inspiring, fun, full of passion, heart & whiskey - all the things music should be made up of. i will see you again on halloween…i’m looking forward to having my ears blasted out & being berated by the chimp.
    speaking of the chimp, i would like to have chop chop’s babies. i know, i know…get in line….

    come back to boston soon, you lovely people

    I tore the muscles around my ribcage dancing to y’all at HONK! The only way that I can heal is if you come down to Philly and play at Puppet Uprising. Til then, I will lay on the floor, twitching.

    October 7, 2007 at 4:57 pm

    hey What Cheer?
    I attended both sat and sun of the Honk festival and you guys were just insanely awesome. i’m so glad i got to see you 2-3 times, and the parade march! what an amazing weekend. hope you had fun in boston. come back again soon!

    I have to say that out of all the weddings i’ve been to in mylife u guys really made this one amazing. I’ve never danced so hard and for so long before but it was absolutely the greatest thing ever. Im sure you havent done too many jewsish weddings but i was throughtly impressed!! My friends and i plan on seeing your concerts in providence now and cant wait to dance to your music again!

    hi band and band’s fans! do you all know about hypnotic? if not, you should check them out. they’re a big brass band (like you) but there are only about 9 of them (unlike you) that plays ridiculously great music (which isn’t quite like yours, but is equally great in a different way). so here you go. listen to baliky bone and enjoy!

    Ich habe Euch auf dem Sziget-Festival in Budapest 2x gesehen und wir konnten uns das nicht beschreiben wir Ihr die Leute so annimiert habt! Euro Performance zur Misik ist einfach genial und jeder müsste einmal “What Cheer?” gesehen haben! Ich hoffe das es Euch noch lange gibt und wünsche Euch sehr viel Erfolg und gutes Gelingen!!! Machte weiter so. Ps: würdet Ihr nach Österreich/Austria kommen für einen Gig?
    Liebe Grüße Christian

    we had the absolute pleasure of your warm up show on saturday at White Trash - my god, I don’t know if it was the 4 glasses of prosecco or the overall effects of a dirty weekend in Berlin, but you were AMAZING and you have to come to the UK to perform

    My good friend dragged me out into the rain drenched woods with the promise that I would leave smiling and happy no matter how low I may be after seeing a bunch of half crazed loons in marching band. Who knew she’d be right.

    May 26, 2007 at 12:29 am

    Oh What Cheer! I loves ya! Especially that sexy burly sousaphone player. Though I believe he just shaved his head. Eh, there’s always the other 17 of you!

    YOU GUYS WERE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
    FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
    AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

    Thank you for playing at our birthday party!!

    The birthday boy has thanked me every day since you guys came for ‘giving him the ruckus’ for his birthday. He loved it. His best friend and his wife who came out from LA were awestruck– very, very, impressed– and kept going on and on about how each and every one of you had such character, etc, etc. And some unknown woman told me that she had ‘hostess envy’ because the band was so cool!!
    We all loved loved loved loved loved loved it.

    I can’t tell you how many people were so astonished and kept coming up to me asking where you guys came from, who you were, etc, etc.

    You guys are the best. I wish I could kiss each and every one of you.

    You were SMOKING!!!

    Yo ya’lll..I saw you play today at the benefit in Providence. You really really really made my day. Big brass band and marching band music is my favorite shit.

    I was supposed to journey with my best friend to visit my other best friend in New Orleans for Mardi Gras last week and they canceled our flight so we never made it down.

    Thanks for the fucking cheer today. I felt like it was my make-up mardi gras.

    I’m in a queer dance troupe. Ya’ll ever think about adding a step and dance squad to your brigade?

    I hope to catch you around banging and blowing into shit in the street soon!!

    It is Tuesday and I’m still hung-over. You guys are great! I had lots of fun tagging along New Years Eve but I’m paying for it now. Keep it up and I hope to see you all out again soon. Do you ever play on the Cape? If so let me know so I can show some support.
    Rock it and sock it!

    So just thought I’d let you all know, my cousin and I were having a horrible New Years Eve until we ran into you guys outside and then watched you at AS220. You’re amazing. Thank you.

    November 27, 2006 at 10:09 pm

    We saw you at the Honk Festival and you were great! My daughter is only 1 1/2 years old and she is STILL talking about the “monkey drummer.” (Her picture is in your photobook… she’s the one who followed the band around the corner after the set). She pretends to be the monkey drummer and marches around with an imaginary drum. I don’t think it is an overstatement to say that What Cheer? was the highlight of her life. Let us know when you’re playing so we can come see you again.

    I’ve never had the chance to see you guys play, but I just listened to the poorly recorded live sample from a net cafe here in Xining, Qinghai, China… it rocked! My I mention that I am in no small way responsible for Chris Erway’s super-sino-specs? Wheeeee!

    April 30, 2006 at 10:15 pm

    Rockin’ time at the cemetery this afternoon, and a big thanks to Paul for helping us out during the parade earlier.

    And pencil in the HONK festival, a brass band blow out we’re putting together in Davis Square, Somerville on September 30….multiple outdoor performances and an evening gig at Johnny D’s. We’ll be in touch.
