OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY
Bonerama… has always been hailed as “unlike anything you’ve ever heard before”…
As their sound evolves and changes it’s still the best way to describe this 15 year old powerhouse trombone touring band from New Orleans, LA. In addition to changing the way people think about the trombone, the sound of Bonerama has become an influence and contribution to the sound of New Orleans music today.
With newer acts such as Trombone Shorty and Big Sam’s Funky Nation joining them on on the national music scene, it’s New Orleans that has benefited with a newfound reputation as being a bonafide “Trombone Town”. These bands carry the trombone like the trophy it truly is in New Orleans.
The band has performed and recorded with countless national artists such as R.E.M., OKGo, Tom Morello, Wayne Kramer (MC5),
Jill Sobule and so many more, all while bringing their distinctive sounds from New Orleans to a national spotlight.
Festivals and events such as Monterey Jazz Fest to High Sierra Music Festival, Jam Cruise, Bear Creek Festival and of course the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival only outline the extensive festival work this band has under its’ name. National television appearances on CNN and HBO (Comic Relief, Treme) have further exposed Bonerama to a wide range of unsuspecting new viewers.
While enduring lineup changes, member displacement, tragedy and loss over the years, the song for Bonerama has remained the same; being centered around their beloved trombone & city, while striving for greatness with a fun spirit.
Whether it’s their inventive covers or funky, rocking originals, Bonerama is calling you to Shake It Baby. To the left and to the right. Or anyway you like it, and all in between. Rest assured, Bonerama will take you on your most memorable RIDE ON THE SLIDE!
The new album, Shake It Baby: Shake It Baby is available worldwide: April 23, 2013
Special Guests: Dr. John, Mike Mills (R.E.M.) George Porter, Jr. (Meters), Dave Malone (Radiators) and Mike Dillon (Les Claypool).
12 fresh unreleased studio tracks. This will be Bonerama’s sixth major release. Live at the Old Point (2001), LIVE From New York (2004), Bringing It Home (2007), You Are Not Alone (2008, OKGo and Bonerama), Hard Times (2009)
The album features robust and colorful packaging created by the popular New Orleans artist, Jamie Hayes.

REVIEW/AMG
Dave Nathan
Combos featuring four or five or more trombones were quite popular back in the 1950s and 1960s with groups led by Kai Winding, J.J. Johnson, and Urbie Green making several LPs. Now comes Bonerama applying that concept played by modern brass bands from New Orleans. Modern, not that this is avant-garde or free jazz (although an electric trombone is introduced into the mix of slide instruments), but rather funk rock music played in the way of a brass band with plenty of funk added. This talented group of players make this music sound much better than it probably deserves, which is a reason for their success. Sneak up on the audience by putting some life, rhythm, and imagination into the otherwise dull, sound-alike songs that numb the brain, and what comes out is something well worth listening to. In this live session at New Orleans' Old Point Bar, these players get more distinctive sounds out of the slide instruments than one could have imagined possible. There's also the wild swinging sousaphone of Matt Perrine on "Bap Bap." Leader Mark Mullins is responsible for some of the tunes on the play list. There is one legitimate jazz standard, "Lil' Darlin'" which surprisingly is played pretty straightforward with virtually no embellishment. There is some fine solo work on this cut, however, by Craig Klein and Brian O'Neill. All proceedings are propelled along by Russell Batiste's drums laying down the repetitive backbeat. There is some very imaginative playing by the group on this album as they take what otherwise may be dull and uninspired material and pump a lot of life into it. The noise of the crowd is heard throughout as background to this CD.

William Ruhlmann
Rock-oriented New Orleans brass band Bonerama were formed by trombonists Mark Mullins and Craig Klein, both of whom had been members of Harry Connick's band since 1990. Mullins obtained a weekly residency at the New Orleans nightclub Tipitina's in the summer of 1998 and turned it into a trombone summit. In addition to Klein, he enlisted trombonists Rick Trolsen, Steve Suter, and Brian O'Neill (who died of a heart attack in December 2005), as well as sousaphone player Matt Perrine and guitarist Bert Cotton. The drum chair has been held at various times by Eric Bolivar, Terence Higgins, Russell Batiste, and Stanton Moore. Despite its horn-heavy instrumentation, Bonerama were a rock band, known for playing such covers as "Frankenstein" by the Edgar Winter Group along with songs by Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and the Allman Brothers Band. The group's first album, Live at the Old Point, was released on October 9, 2001. Live from New York followed on August 26, 2005. Bonerama's third consecutive live album, Bringing It Home, which had been recorded at Tipitina's, was released on July 24, 2007.
