QUIET CROWD AGENCY

Buffo’s Wake is a collective of musical misfits, hatched in the murky backwater of Brighton, UK.

Armed with accordions, violins and a bucket full of gusto they waltz, tango, mosh and kolo their way through a vast array of influences from Eastern European, Balkan and Russian folk to punk rock and cabaret, telling tales of debauchery, deformity, zombies and making audiences dance late into the night in the process.

In their time together, they have toured all over the world, getting inspired everywhere they went.

Gypsy, Balkan and Klezmer Carnival Punks – with influences from Abba to Zappa, Buffo’s Wake are guaranteed to leave you dancing like a man possessed!

2026 sees the start of a new chapter in the Buffo’s Wake story, with a permanent, expanded 10-piece line-up, featuring trumpet, trombone, clarinet, tuba, saxophone, french horn, and an indecently large accordion pedal board. Work has begun on their new album Stupid Clown Music for Stupid Clown People, which brings a heavier, more intense sound, and an unfathomably powerful live show to match.
