About
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.

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.
