“Washington DC finally has a band that truly captures the wonderful sounds of New Orleans, and its name is The Beat Hotel. They’ve taken the heritage of New Orleans carnivals, parades and back street bars and turned it all into their own identifiable, body-rocking brand of rough and tumble party funk. They perform a high energy set rich in great songs, fabulous harmonies, creatively tight arrangements and a kicking horn section while remaining lovingly anchored in New Orleans tradition.”
