PHOTOS: Rude Mechanical Orchestra @ 555 Gallery Detroit from Cherie Stangis

"On September 4, 2008, the Rude Mechanical Orchestra made a stop at 555 Gallery for a benefit. While they entered crawling and walking low the ground, the orchestra swelled up and soon engulfed the room. The Rude Mechanical Orchestra bills itself as a "30-odd piece New York City-based radical marching band and dance troupe. They play a variety of resistance based songs, combined with original works that incorporate jazz, pop, funk, hip hop. To top that off, they also feature dancers performing moves from the samba to swing topped off with some awesome acrobatics. "
