The Herbaliser was formed in 1995 by Ollie Teeba and Jake Wherry, their sample based sound was created using records that the duo found digging; Hip Hop, jazz, soul and old movie soundtrack samples became an iconic characteristic of the group.

Their first albums achieved commercial success, ‘Blow Your Headphones’ extended their output to include an 8 piece live band. The Herbaliser Band continued on, touring internationally, to great reception, from diverse audiences and would become regulars at a multitude of electronic, dance, dub and jazz festivals around the world.

In 2024, after something of a hiatus, The Herbaliser Band have reformed with original members Ralph Lamb (trumpet/flugelhorn), Andrew Ross (tenor/baritone saxflute), Micah Moody (drums), Patrick Dawes (percussion) with James Morton (Alto Sax) Oliver Parfitt (keyboards), Conor Cotterill (bass) & of course DJ Ollie Teeba on the turntables.
