The Dance Brigade are a ska band from London. Founded by Keith Finch (JA13, Crown of Thorns) and Lee "Kix" Thompson (Madness) in late summer 2007, they were soon joined by Jennie Matthias (The Belle-Stars). The other musicians came from projects they had been involved in.

Their ska-based music is a hybrid of styles mixed in with technology; a 'Global Pillage' of sounds, reflecting the multi-cultural and global heritage of the band members.

Their live shows are a clash of new generation ska and visuals, with live videos running con-currently to the music, which feature computers and a live band on stage. They are joined onstage by various guests from the reggae world including Dave Barker (Dave and Ansell Collins) who has recorded a track with them.
