Renegade Brass Band

Combining 8 horns with 2 percussionists, scratch DJ and MC, Renegade Brass Band mix jazz, funk and hip-hop with a raw brass sound and high-energy live show. RBB have already established a big live reputation as a headline act, and have played packed-out shows at venues around the UK and Europe. In the last year, they have supported acts including Grandmaster Flash, Public Enemy, Xavier Rudd, The Apples, Quantic, Craig Charles, Rodney P & Skitz, Ms. Dynamite and more. A hit with crowds across Europe, the band have played at festivals including Secret Garden Party, Sea Sessions Ireland, Kendal Calling, and several times at Soundwave Croatia, warming up for artists such as DJ Shadow and DJ Yoda. The band released their debut album, ‘RBB: Rhymes, Beats & Brass’ in August 2014, which saw them further develop their hard-edged brass sound – combining raw brass funk with the vocals of V3xation and scratch DJ Zxodiac – as well as a series of remixes later in the year. For 2013’s Record Store Day, RBB teamed up with Tru Thoughts artists Rodney P and Harleighblu to record a limited-edition 7” vinyl featuring the tracks ‘Success’ and ‘Live Up’, and the band also provided the horns for Harleighblu’s debut album, ‘Forget Me Not’, released in October 2013 on Tru Thoughts Records. They also have a number of collaboration projects on the go, including tracks with Diesler and Rodney P, and a remix swap with The Herbaliser, which features on the band’s ‘There Were Seven: Remixes’ album. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - WORD ON THE STREET “Some of the biggest boldest brass on the scene at the minute” (Soundhhism, Nottingham) “Probably the best brass band working out of Britain!” (Craig Charles, BBC 6 Music) “One of our favourite bands at TTC.
