Welcome to Cupcake .. probably the finest pop/funk band in Melbourne.

After running The Daimon Brunton Quintet for 17 years; releasing 4 highly acclaimed albums; performing well over 300 gigs (including a 12-date national tour) Daimon was after a new challenge. (P.S. The DBQ is still running .. visit www.daimonbrunton.com for gig and album release updates).

Here’s the brief ..

What if Tower Of Power, Stevie Wonder, D.I.G., Sharon Jones, The Bamboos, Michael Jackson and Snarky Puppy all got together and had a love child?

We think they’d name that child .. Cupcake!

Featuring groove-driven originals and warped re-arrangements of popular songs Soul Cupcake takes all that is good and spits it out the other end in a whirlwind of horn-tastic electricity.

10-piece, highly complex and funky arrangements was always going to require a slick band of professionals. And to that end Cupcake features:

Tika – vocals
Daimon Brunton – trumpet
Antony Sutherland – trumpet / flugelhorn
Philip Hayter – alto sax
Hector Harley – bari sax
Adam Rudegeair – keyboards
Keaton Tait – guitar
Lucas Wentworth – bass
Adam Donaldson – drums
