Bio:
The Legends of Brass are an eight piece ska band from San Diego, California.
They've been around for two years but really only got their act together about a year ago.
Most of the members go to La Jolla High School in La Jolla, CA, as juniors (and one senior).
Their goal has been to revive the San Diego ska scene which has been dead for years.
a picture of some part of La Jolla.. not sure where :)
History:
Two years ago a few La Jolla High freshman (Charles,
Scott, Alex and
Todd) started jamming together. Gradually,
the jam sessions turned into band practices and more members were added, lost,
replaced, etc. When Chris joined the band
in the summer of '99 on organ, he started writing the band's music, transforming
their sound into its current state.
