Based in Melbourne
About this act
Christmas Mayhem is a big band from Melbourne, Victoria.
Eight horns and a rhythm section built on drums and sousaphone give this Melbourne brass band its wall-of-sound scale, playing traditional Christmas tunes in a New Orleans brass style rather than a standard carol arrangement. Requests from the audience get folded into the set on top of the fixed repertoire. The band's approach draws directly on New Orleans brass traditions, built around collaboration between musicians from different backgrounds.
