Balkan brass party-starters the Trans-Siberian March Band are a colourful explosion of flamboyant, high-octane performances and musical miscellany - a fearsome blend of brass, reeds, percussion, guitar and vocals.

We play riotous Balkan, Gypsy and Turkish tunes, up-tempo Russian drinking songs and even upper-tempo Klezmer, with a hint of hiphop and Latin for good measure. Sometimes we write originals about cheese pies.

Highlights from the band's strange and wonderful history include shows at Glastonbury, Bestival, WOMAD,​ the Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Palace, HMV Forum and The Roundhouse, as well as recording at Abbey Road and Air Studios.

Always open to adventure, TSMB put together a truly unique project with scratch turntablist DJ Yoda which proved a firm festival favourite (main stages at Camp Bestival, Shambala and more). Tour destinations have included France, Austria, Hungary, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Italy and Georgia. The band also curated a series of events from 2014-2016, holding a monthly residency at Shoreditch arts hub Rich Mix which included guest bands and workshops.
