An album release is always a reason for a celebration. The first new album in 11 years from Bad Cactus Brass Band, the popular local New Orleans-style outfit? We wouldn’t have been anywhere else.

Bad Cactus Brass Band marked the release of “Back for Another Round” on Nov. 22 at Valley Bar in downtown Phoenix. Local bands Hyperbella and Prime Society were also on the bill.

Here are a few photos of the event.
