We're an eight piece band with full-on horns and full-on fun, performing our own fabulous mix of music from Madness, The Blues Brothers, The Specials and Bad Manners to name just a few. Add to that some classics of the 80s and 90s and beyond performed in The Kazbaas’ own fabulous fun style and you’re guaranteed to have a fantastic time!

Here's a throwback to the days of lockdown!
It's all about Sally Brown!
The Kazbaas play for up to two and a half hours split over two or three sets to suit your needs. That's a lot of great music and a lot of energy - so be prepared! We can also provide a playlist of recorded music for when we're not performing, or plug your own music player through our system. If you’re really desperate to fill time we’ll get KazKeys to tell jokes.
We provide a full professional sound system with an operator who'll do his best to make the band sound beautiful using his iPad based controller. All lighting is also provided and controlled by us, supported on stands and a rear gantry which also holds our 'Woolly' mascot backdrop.
Set-up takes 90+ minutes which we'll do to fit in with the venue's needs, with a further 40 minutes or so to take it all down at the end.
We're public liability insured and all equipment is PAT tested.
All you need to provide is power, a performance area and people ready for a good time!

The Kazbaas have been performing together since around 2006, originally under the name of Baadness playing mainly Madness style songs to pubs, festivals and whoever would have us.
By 2014 our style had developed into a much wider set of fun, party music so we decided to change our name. 'The Kazbaas' was invented by Lee, our sound desk guy. We're not sure what it means but we all liked it so it stuck!
Since then we've had a few line-up changes and are now the best we've ever been! We're an eight piece band who still play the classics of Madness, The Specials, etc, along with some great new versions of party-starting hits!
The Kazbaas exist because we all love playing great music, and with new songs often added to the repertoire, we intend to carry on doing just that for as long as we're allowed!
