Fiesta Fiasco is a 9-piece powerhouse from Brisbane, Australia playing sizzling ska, reggae and soul music guaranteed to have you on your feet dancing. Combining musicians from some of Australia's best loved bands past and present, with exciting young artists, this is Fiesta Fiasco!
What an amazing 3-year ride it has been for the band, establishing themselves as one of Brisbane’s bands to watch, with a combination of popular original material and well-chosen cover versions of great dance tunes across all decades from the 60’s to the ‘new ‘20’s’. The FiFis can tailor their extensive song repertoire to suit all occasions from multi-set pub gigs playing classics (with our spin) to fully original sets and festival highlights!
The band has been fortunate enough to have played in some of the best venues in South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales, including H.O.T.A., The Zoo and regular appearances and invitations back to The Triffid and The Hoey Moey (Coffs Harbour) just to name a few, sharing the stage with national touring and international acts such as Sunny Coast Rude Boys, Strange Tenants, Stranger Cole and The Original Wailers (Jamaica). A quirky highlight of 2023 was appearing as the house band for an episode of Weekend Sunrise (7 Network)! In 2024, Fiesta Fiasco will headline the Skatoberfest festival in Adelaide, with more exciting announcements to follow.
The FiFis have also recorded 4 EPs and garnered respect and airplay from radio stations and podcasts all over the world, with a steady fanbase across Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Mexico, UK and USA to name a few. As well as this, we have contributed songs to charity as part of the UK Specialized Project CIC in support of Teenage Cancer Research.
