Biography

Bursting with energy, colour, and charisma, this roaming off-shoot of Hot Potato Band is all about igniting unforgettable moments. The Sydney-based brass collective break down the barrier between stage and audience, transforming spaces into dance floors and leaving a trail of smiles in their wake. For more than 15 years, the band has independently curated and toured shows across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Pacific Islands and the Middle East, captivating audiences wherever they go. Unbound by genre or convention, Hot Potato Band has reimagined the traditional brass band as a high-energy dance machine and visual spectacle, powered by their signature blend of fun, spontaneity, and quirky musical charm.
