Hot Potato Band’s larger-than-life brass collective is a breath of fresh air, setting a new bar for energetic and interactive musical performances. Finding home in Sydney, Australia, their positive coastal energy pushes euphoric boundaries in their bold quest to reignite acoustic instrumentation. The bands unique sound is built on the backs of three drummers, a sousaphone and five horns that cover catchy chorus lines, providing a beautiful harmonic cloud for Ben (vocalist) to float above. HPB is un-bound by genres, stages and audiences. They are re-inventive of the traditional New Orleans brass band as a modern day dance machine and visual spectacle for all demographics with a strong sense of pride for their fun-loving, organic, and quirky musical nature.

"Hot Potato Band were undoubtedly one of the most entertaining acts of the day" - Madeline Tait, THE MUSIC (Lost Picnic Festival, Sydney)
"Simply amazing in every single way, from their timing, their show performance, to their impressive crowd involvement. They gave the Lost Picnic audience a performance so unique and entertaining, personally their set was definitely one of the highlights from the entire event" - Laura Tedder, AMNPLIFY (Lost Picnic, Sydney)
"Of course there are always some gems of acts that you see that make the entry price totally worth it. My picks for this year were Sydney boys Hot Potato Band who i saw twice." - Kristen Austin-Zande, SCENSTR (Queenscliff Music Festival) 
 
"This band simply is a barrel of fun and a perfect fit for a summer’s night of revelry." - Philippe Perez, The AU Review 

Hot Potato Band is proud of their all acoustic line up. The absence of electronic instrumentation has set them apart from many other acts and continues to tie them to their roving roots, but not to the stage. The bands energy is released through an amalgamation of catchy music and lyrics, infectious dance moves, and audience interaction, attributed to their mobility as a band and the breaking down of barriers between stage and audience. Although difficult to describe their genre, HPB continues to compile their arsenal of songs inspired by Pop, Funk, Ska, Reggae and bound by the classic sounds of New Orleans brass bands.

'If string theory is correct, then the universe is made up of infinitesimally tiny vibrating strands of energy. Each vibrating strand emits a tone of its own.

As strands are attracted to each other, the combine to compose every single thing in existence - you, me, this page, this picture. The more strands that attach to one another the greater number of tones that are combined.

If all these tones are vibrating at once, then one might conceive of every single thing as a unique cord of music. If that's the case, then the universe is made up of music and I can not imagine a more appropriate response than dancing.'

Someone made their own tracks where the highway ends. The road just stops dead. There’s a creek nearby that locals say has diamonds in it. Simple folk. The bridge is out and the chorus is missing a wisdom tooth. There’s a bar in the old upholstery shop where a band plays to the beat of people throwing bottles. Some say they are hungry. Others say they are already dead.
