The Infernal Noise Brigade is a marching drum battery and street performance crew activated by massive political and cultural uprisings. We are a tactical mobile rhythmic unit consisting of: a majorette, medics, tactical advisors, rifle-twirling contingent, flag corps, sound-generating kart, vocalists, and between 8 and 12 percussionists. It is our intention to be a soundtrack for insurrection. Rendering ideology obsolete, we practice the politics of pleasure and subversion on the streets. We are not interested in chanting dogmatic slogans, nor is there a banner behind which we all wish to march. We attempt, through our aesthetic sense and our fierce commitment to the politics of joy and desire, to create a space of carnival, a space where rules are broken and anything is possible. Whether in the larger context of an action, or in spontaneous appearances on the streets, the INB disrupts the status quo, enlivening the everyday and fueling it with infernal noise.
