Buffo’s Wake is a 20 legged monstrosity, hatched in the murky backwater of Brighton, UK. Armed with an extravagant brass section, accordions, clarinets, violins and buckets full of bravado they waltz, tango, mosh and pogo their way through a vast array of influences from Eastern European folk tunes, Balkan brass bands and Slavic murder ballads, to punk rock and dark cabaret; telling tales of debauchery, disturbed nightmares and even more disturbing realities, with an unexpected nous for untold stories and unusually considered lyrics – when you can understand them, anyway.

A collective of musical misfits, drawn from a range of diverse backgrounds; Drum ‘n’ Bass DJs confront classical strings, DIY punks debate jazz obsessives, and introverted poets showdown with obnoxious showmen. Its a gloriously inconsistent mix of influences and personalities that will defy your expectations – unpredictable, chaotic and utterly engrossing.

In their time together they have toured all over the world, from American dive-bars to Scandanivian squats, sun kissed Mediterranean beaches to snow-capped Alpine slopes – always leaving behind an inspired, confused, sweaty, and often inebriated audience in their wake.
Chaotic-Klezmer-Carnival-Punk – with influences from Abba to Zappa, Buffo’s Wake will leave you dancing like a soul possessed!

Warning: may cause uncontrollable limb flailing, jumping and occasional mosh-induced dizziness.

Buffo’s Wake: 1 part klezmer, 2 parts punk, 1 part Nu-Metal breakdown – remove any remaining subtlety and add a healthy dose of glorious chaos.
