KAZIMIER KRUNK BAND
In house carnival techno band of The Kazimier club.
A self-amplified dance orchestra of the people, The Krunk Band rarely performed on a stage, preferring instead to mingle among the crowds. With trumpeting fanfares and bish-bash-bosh percussion, you might hear some 19th century cancans from a souked-up barrel organ or an accordion-led tribute to a 90s dance classic. Performed across Europe and the UK including Glastonbury Festival.
Core members: Raph Goldacre, Sam Crombie, Laurie Crombie, Laura Brownhill, Laura spark, Hollie Coleman, Lucy Mercer, Simon Knighton
