Tank and The Bangas at Blue Note Los Angeles

Hailing from New Orleans, Tank and the Bangas bring their genre-blending sound to Blue Note Los Angeles. The band, winners of the 2017 NPR Tiny Desk Contest and a 2025 Grammy for Best Spoken Word Poetry Album, fuse funk, soul, hip-hop, and spoken word into a euphoric live experience.

Attendees can expect a shapeshifting set led by vocalist Tarriona “Tank” Ball, whose commanding stage presence and playful energy create an atmosphere of unbridled joy. The band’s latest album, *The Last Balloon*, explores themes of resilience and self-realization with raw emotionality.

Set in the intimate Blue Note venue on Sunset Boulevard, this performance promises a night of transcendent connection—a testament to why the group has become one of modern music’s most steadfast voices of exhilaration.
