Born over a weekend at Boomtown Festival, with the humble goal of getting a band together to sack off the litter picking shifts and enjoy a festival in style.
 
The band’s unique sound comes from their fusion of genres. Ben, the reggae purist, handles the bass, Jack and Lauren, who also perform in FloodHounds brought their indie rock/punk vibe with guitar and drums, Ed provides smokey saxophone blue notes and keyboards, and Tom rounds it all off with his soulful soaring vocals. The result was Rogue Siesta, a uniquely genre-blending, high-energy, roller-coaster ride through Reggae and a few other genres along the way.

Rogue Siesta eventually went on to achieve their founding ambition of playing at Boomtown, and followed that with a string of successful live shows, rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the most exciting fusion bands to emerge on the UK music scene.

Other highlights include playing at Illusive and Nozstock festivals, and playing to over 1000 people on Tramline Fringe Festival’s Devonshire Green stage for three years running.

They’ve proudly supported bands that were some of their major influences like The Skints and 80s Ska legends, The Beat, both at Sheffield’s iconic Leadmill, and also the likes of Neville Staple of The Specials, New Zealand’s Katchafire, Treehouse Fire, and Undercover Hippy.
