The original band, (previously called Hot Botz Brass Band), was formed in 2010, following a busking tour of Europe, (10 capital cities in 30 days!). Since then they have performed at countless club venues, parties, and festivals around the UK, including Creamfields, Manchester International Festival, Parklife, Beatherder, the Edinburgh Festival, playing at the E4 venue with the ‘Tom Tom Crew’, and on Stephen. K. Amos’s live stand-up comedy show, (with dancing monkeys!).
In 2011 they brought out their first, self-titled album, (Hot Botz Brass Band – the band changed names to Brass Beats Collective in 2021). In July 2013, with a bigger, 6-piece band and guest MC, they released the single, ‘Tremor’, premiering it at the Beatherder Festival. They released the single, ‘Free yourself’, (featuring Kathryn Pemberton), in June 2015, and ‘Right Through You’, was released on New Years Day, 2021, (featuring Karmic Evolution). They will be releasing another original single in 2026, (featuring Ruby Barber), with the hopes of recording an exciting new album in 2027.
