The Megahorns

About Me

..The Megahorns have been playing together since 2006, constantly developing and recreating their sound, dancing on the line between solid tradition and offensive originality.
From humble beginnings as a high school jazz band busking in Melbourne's CBD, The Megahorns have now grown into a funk/hip hop beast, performing at Melbourne venues such as The Espy, The Corner Hotel, The East Brunswick Club and Bar Open. The band is fast becoming a festival favourite, this year having played Big Day Out, Moomba, Apollo Bay Music Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival, Boogie Festival and more.
