My son sent me a video clip wanting to know if I had any idea what the song was or any info on the band.

The only thing I’ve been able to determine is that the sign in the corner is the [Coat of arms of Ukraine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Ukraine) so I’m pretty sure this isn’t anywhere in the US.

Any ideas?

Cruel Angel’s Thesis, the OP from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Played by a brass band.

Wow, thanks. I was expecting something from the brass band era of the 50’s or 60’s.

Thanks again!
