Silent Cinema

Silent Cinema is the New Orleans band. From the sounds of the city's backstreets, behind its live oaks, humid fog and smoke-filled bars, second lines and brass bands — Silent Cinema captures the sound of the New Orleans its people know by heart. Since 2002, the band's slow-burning Southern dirges and heavy-souled foot stompers have carried the torch for the city's new musical vernacular, one reared by its Dixieland heroes but far removed from its tired traditions.
