On Saturday the @drummachineband also performed twice in the Darley Street Market courtyard alongside their workshop. Did you hear them across Bradford city centre? #Bradford2025

Saturday night at Solfest, we went rogue!Ditching our signature orange ‘Performance Pants’, we rocked up to the main stage in our finest civvies and eclectic western steampunk costumes - drums in hand and ready to make some noise!

Between main stage sets, we gave the waiting crowd a surprise burst of rhythm. Ahh it was fun! Thanks to all the observers, clappers, foot tappers and dancers who join in with the Bjamba spirit: spontaneous, inclusive, and always up for a beat drop!💥

AND…..
Massive love to @drummachineband for gifting us this banger back in a 2018 workshop—it’s still one of our biggest crowd-pullers!
We first crossed paths with Drum Machine at Solfest 2016, jamming with them and Blast Furness at the kids’ parade. Fast forward to 2018 and 2021, and there was Aid, dropping by our camp to share even more grooves and deepen the beat.
This tune is more than a rhythm—it’s a tribute to the drumming community, the joy of sharing, and the magic that happens when beats and ideas flow between bands. 🧡🥁🖤

Beat-Herder 2025 Part 2

Drum Machine. Most acts wouldn't warrant getting an entire festival post dedicated to them but Drum Machine aren't most acts.

Outfits - tribal
Timing - impeccable
Audience integration - astounding

45 minutes in and legs aching from non stop bouncing, I thought I'd have to take a seat up in the upper echelons of The Ring.
But then, what's this... they march into the crowd, dissecting us and getting braced for something even wilder.Surrounding us in a circle slowly stepping and closing us in until there was nowhere to move but up.
And up we moved.
Bounce. Bounce. Bounce.
Bounce until you can't take any more, until the drum beat is in your bones, until the rain has soaked every inch of your clothes, until the final drumstick hits the final drum.

We had an incredible time performing at @beardedtheoryfestival.

We opened the main stage, then played the dance tent twice over the weekend alongside legends including @bezmondays, @ronisizebristol and @leeroy_thornhill.

Thanks to everyone who braved the mud to come groove with us.
