Australian Tour announce – The Ballad of Monte Loco

From the badlands of brass and the frontiers of funk, Melbourne Ska Orchestra rides again with a soundtrack for the wild-hearted!

Armed with a new record, The Ballad of Monte Loco, the 20-piece posse is firing off a genre-busting fusion of Spaghetti Western swagger, deep reggae grooves, and horn-powered mayhem. It’s the next chapter in MSO’s wild musical saga—and it’s coming in hot.
Fresh off the dusty trails of Mexico and the maple-syruped dancehalls of Canada, MSO returns home for the Australian leg of their 2025 World Tour. Expect cinematic showdowns, sweat-soaked dance floors, and enough energy to raise the roof on every saloon from Sydney to Fremantle.
This ain’t no gig—it’s a dub-drenched reckoning in the badlands of Monte Loco, where the riddim rolls like thunder, the horns cry like desert prophets, and this band of sonic outlaws rides with purpose and fire.
Tickets for all shows are on sale now HERE

New single – ‘Walls of Jericho’ out now!

LISTEN NOW

Our brand new single – Walls of Jericho is out now. It’s a hypnotic fusion of reggae rhythms, cinematic Spaghetti Western soundscapes, and our signature brass-driven energy. A departure from our classic high-octane ska, this track leans into deep grooves and storytelling, evoking the dust-blown landscapes of Ennio Morricone while delivering a message of resilience and hope.

Lyrically, Walls of Jericho is a powerful reflection on the futility of war and the way humanity is manipulated into conflict by those in power. Yet, through its anthemic campfire sing-along chorus, the song ultimately shines a light on perseverance and the enduring spirit of the people.
