MB were a sweet band that nobody listens to. They're like noise rock/gypsy folk. They only have one album, Zambodia from 1993, and a few singles. But they're a sick band worth checking out. The tromboner later went on to form Cop Shoot Cop.

The group was rather large, featuring three drummers, as well as string and horn sections, with accordions, xylophones and other unusual instruments featured prominently. The music is somewhat similar to Tom Waits' post-Swordfishtrombones, but also touched[1] on music hall songs, nursery rhymes, marching bands, and earned comparisons to the Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

Sick is right! That song was off the hook. I'll definitely be checking these guys out, thanks for the heads up.
