"Serpentine" record release party: Revolutionary Snake Ensemble returns to the Regattabar, 10/4/25

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Aug. 19, 2025 - PRLog -- A year ago June, the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble performed to a sold out crowd at the Regattabar. An opportune time not only to mark the band's 35th anniversary, celebrating its success as a NOLA-inspired non-stop always-in-demand crowd-pleasing band. But also to take advantage of that particularly cozy RBAR concert setting, blessed with great acoustics. Certainly an ideal spot to reveal lots of new material. And even better, to record these new compositions while playing to an already enthusiastic audience.

So let's just say that it is fitting that RSE returns to the RBAR, approximately a year and a half later, to celebrate the recorded results of their anniversary concert, with a release party for the band's new album Serpentine. RSE's 5th album, with a captivating graphic, that portrays an ouroboros, a serpent known for swallowing its own tail. An ancient symbol of infinity and the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth.

This Serpentine record release concert is guaranteed to be the best funky party ever. As recently described by the Boston Globe, RSE's "funky beats and incendiary improvisations boldly breach the booty/brain barrier." The Serpentine celebration, a heightened shake your booty opportunity, is not to be missed. Since we can all certainly agree on this one thing, the need at this moment for more of that joyful upbeat groovin' right along locomotion.
