The Emperials… the sound of ska

Formed from the four corners of the Bristol music scene at the start of the Millennium, The Emperials have evolved into a major force on the UK’s Ska scene with a reputation for fun, entertaining and very lively shows.  With over 10 years of headline shows, festival appearances and playing with some of our heroes, we’ve played hundreds of gigs to thousands of happy people.

With an 8 piece line up; the rock solid drums, pounding bass, skanking guitar and Hammond keyboard provide the basis of the band, with the tightest and most energetic brass section in the land adding the blasting horn lines, all topped off by versatile lead & backing vocals.

With versatile sets consisting of vintage ska; with either popular sets from the days of 2tone, Trojan and Studio One, original ska, our favourite rarities, or a mixture of all.  We never fail to fill a venue, get the dance floor packed and the crowds singing, dancing and shouting for more.

See you down the front…
