New Orleans has spawned plenty of brass-based groups, but Bonerama take the music of their home to a new level, and have reached the status of a full-fledged rock band rather than just a bunch of guys with horns. They are capable of performing covers of blues and metal classics seamlessly alongside funky pieces of their own creation. Touring in support of their second studio album, Shake It Baby, released on April 23, there will be a few shows in the area: an 18+ gig at Asbury Lanes on July 31, doors at 7 p.m., for $20 in advance or $25 at the door, and a 21+ Rocks Off Concert Cruise performance on Aug. 2 on the East River, doors at 6:30 p.m. More show details at boneramamusic.com
