MELBOURNE — Every Saturday morning at around 11 the Band Who knew Too Much descends on the Victoria Markets.

The band consists of Dave, who plays the accordion, Andy who plays Bass, another Andy who plays clarinet and washboard, Matt on drums and Shane on guitar.

They describe their music as swing with a bit of blues thrown in. All their music comes from the 1920s to the 1940s. They try to emphasise through their music a positive outlook rather than a depressive one.

The band has been playing at the markets for three years now and evolved out of a band called the Right Prats. The line-up is changeable.
