A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
ABOUT
From the raw, visceral energy of Gypsy-Punk to the feet-twistingly manic tempo of Speed-Folk, The Discount Orchestra provides a high-octane blend of eclectic dance-floor stomp, guaranteed to get you bouncing. Hard-driving rhythms, topped with melodic oddities. Formed in South London in 2011, The Discount Orchestra takes 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 lineup 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.
