The MISHTO! Contraband are the only band in Australia reckless enough to throw Eastern European traditions into the blender with cumbia, ska and an explosive brass section, creating what they call High Velocity Immigrant Funk.
Inspired by migration, street-band culture and the joyful chaos of communal celebration, their performances are loud, theatrical and relentlessly danceable. No matter who you are or where you're from, a MISHTO! Contraband show invites you to move, clap, sing and become part of the experience.
Nobody else in Australia sounds quite like this. No one said that was a good idea — but The MISHTO! Contraband are doing it anyway.
The result is the ultimate party band: ripping holes through the bananality of everyday life with raw brass, unstoppable rhythms and enough energy to turn strangers into a dancing crowd.
No Ballads. No Filters. No Borders.
