Anecdotes
Filmed at the start of 1928, Stan's and Ollie's characters had now come into their own, and story ideas began flowing. Early in January, one of the gag men had seen some musicians performing in a park bandstand and mentioned it to Stan, and soon they were filming what was called 'The Music Blasters'; this title was changed just before its release. It was filmed almost in sequence in 10 days with the shin kicking and pants tearing sequence taking 2 days. Due to an existing still, it's known that one gag was filmed and then dropped. This featured an elderly lady about to give some money to the Boys who are street musicians but pulls a face at hearing their 'music' and turns away. The gag where Stan loosens the top of the salt and pepper shakers was reused in The Hoose-Gow (1929) a year later. Ham Kinsey, who was billed as a musician, was also Stan's stand in.

Gaffes
In the course of the escalating tiff on the street between Stan and Ollie, there are multiple instances of Ollie punching Stan in the stomach, followed by Stan kicking Ollie in the shins. After a few of these, tactics change to ripping handkerchiefs, removing or shredding ties, etc. After the latter takes place, the handkerchief and tie are seen lying on the ground. Then, a couple of shots are inserted of more stomach punching and shin kicking, which were actually shot earlier and show the boys' ties and handkerchiefs still intact.

Amusing Laurel & Hardy silent short.

Although I certainly don't consider this movie to be Laurel & Hardy's best, it still is of course a very amusing short, that features plenty of good slapstick moments.

The movie is a bit dragging at times with its gags but overall the movie has plenty of moments in that will surely make you laugh. Especially the ending is purely classic. The slapstick comedy is very typically Laurel & Hardy like, so fans of the two will surely enjoy watching this comedy short.

Like often was the case with Laurel & Hardy, the movie can be divided into two parts. The first halve is about the comedy duo playing in a municipal band, while the second halve is about the two coping with the fact that they are fired from the band by trying to earn some money on the street by playing. Both parts have their up- and downsides but overall the upsides overcome its lesser parts.

The movie got directed by Edgar Kennedy, who also directed the other Laurel & Hardy silent short "From Soup To Nuts". Kennedy is still best known though as an actor playing in several Laurel & Hardy movies, most often as the cop Kennedy.

Amusing, especially for the fans.
