About

The Octopuss* is a four-piece Movie Funk Rock band from Bangkok known for turning every stage into a cinematic, groove-driven spectacle. Mixing funk, rock, and humor-laden storytelling inspired by films and pop culture, the band delivers energetic shows packed with hooks, danceable rhythms, and a kind of playful chaos that audiences instantly connect with — including their now-iconic tradition of giving away pizza to the crowd mid-show, a moment that consistently ignites festival energy.

Since releasing their debut single “ทำไมเรายังไม่วาร์ป”, The Octopuss* has built a reputation as one of Thailand’s most entertaining live acts, earning a loyal following both at home and in Taiwan.

In 2025, the band achieved a major milestone when they were selected from hundreds of international submissions to perform at Rock in Taichung — a rare honor for a Thai independent band and a clear testament to their growing impact in the region.

Their performances at major festivals — including Rock in Taichung (TW), B-Festival (TW), Ho-Hai-Yan (TW), LUC Fest (TW), CAT Expo (TH), Bangkok Design Week (TH), Rimpha Music Festival (TH) and more — showcase their ability to command big stages and ignite diverse international crowds.

Anchored by irresistible funk grooves, sharp musicianship, and distinctive movie-themed songwriting, The Octopuss* continues to expand their presence across Asia. Each show is a vibrant, high-impact experience designed to make audiences dance, laugh, and remember why live music matters — with or without a slice of pizza in hand.
