London
From the raw, visceral energy of Gypsy-Punk, to the feet-twistingly manic tempo of Speed-Folk, The Discount Orchestra provide a high-octane blend of eclectic dance-floor stomp, guaranteed to get you bouncing. Hard-grifting rhythms, topped with melodical oddities!
Formed in South London in 2011, The Discount Orchestra take their inspiration from London’s dark, anarchic corners. Conjuring tales of love, loss, and post-apocalyptic survival, over a soundtrack that dances between genres. They´ve honed their live show at packed gigs and sold-out festivals over the last 10 years (Bestival, Wilderness, Boomtown) and have earned their reputation as a band to watch.
With a line up of Sax, Trombone, Accordion, Drums, and Bass topped off with a cacophony of vocals, their riotous blend of oddly influenced music incorporates elements of Folk, Gypsy, Ska, and Circus, with a healthy dose of Punk, and is perfect for a late night of raucous entertainment.
