The Herbaliser Band

On Thursday, 12th March, The Herbaliser Band is set to perform at Patterns, bringing a sound that has been evolving since Jake Wherry and Ollie Teeba first started collaborating in London during the early 90s. Their music has always had a bit of a "widescreen" quality to it, largely because they drew so much inspiration from the soundtracks of 70s spy thrillers, westerns, and detective shows. This cinematic foundation was a creative way to build their identity when they didn't have a consistent roster of rappers, resulting in a blend of hip hop, soul, and funk that feels quite distinct from standard club sets.

The evening is scheduled to kick off with doors at 19:00, and the main performance running between 19:30 and 22:30. While some of the tour information mentions a "one night only" London appearance, the band is definitely making this stop in Brighton at the 10 Marine Parade venue. Tickets are currently available for £24.93 through various outlets like DICE, See Tickets, and Ticketmaster. If you’re looking for entry, remember that this is an 18+ show, so having your ID ready is a requirement. The genre is often categorised as jazz or hip hop, but the live experience is generally described as an explosive version of those studio sounds.

In terms of getting to Patterns, the venue is situated in a spot where parking is quite limited, so using public transport is a more practical choice for most. For those with accessibility needs, the ground floor of the building is accessible. It’s a mid-week show that wraps up at a reasonable hour, making it a manageable option if you're interested in seeing how these veteran producers translate their sample-heavy history into a live band format. Whether you've followed them since their early days or just appreciate a well-constructed funk and soul arrangement, the setup at Marine Parade provides a clear look at their current live direction.
