Carnival Collective are a 30 to 50 piece band from Brighton in the United Kingdom. Constantly evolving and changing, they moved quickly from their origins as a purely percussive group to a highly dynamic and original band comprising a full horn section, vocalists, guitar, bass and electronics; all of this backed up by their massed ranks of percussionists.
Their performances at Glastonbury and other music festivals are legendary as are their occasional street parades with a full mobile sound system.
Their music ranges from jungle to surf punk, and includes pretty much everything in between.
A new album has been released April 24th, 2009 called Freak Rocket. It is available for purchase on their myspace.
