Monster Ceilidh Band

**Monster Ceilidh Band** is a Scottish group known for turbocharging traditional ceilidh music with explosive electronic beats, rock energy, and a rebellious twist. Hailing from Scotland’s vibrant folk scene, they reimagine reels, jigs, and strathspeys by mashing fiddles, bagpipes, and accordions with synths, drum machines, and gritty guitar riffs. Their sound is a wild dancefloor hybrid—equally at home in festival tents and underground clubs—and their live shows are legendary for igniting mosh pits at folk festivals. Recent releases like *Charge*, *Mutation*, and *Mechanical Monster* double down on their cyborg-folk vision, blending frenetic acoustic rhythms with glitchy textures and sci-fi vibes. Think ancient Highland traditions colliding headfirst with a rave—this is ceilidh music, but not as your granny remembers it.
