Electric indie-rock-pop covers. AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, R.E.M., Chris Isaak and similar indie, rock and pop material — fully amplified, twin guitars, tight rhythm section. Volume that fills the floor, taste that keeps the bar busy. Different product from the acoustic 3AM Band lineup.
Edinburgh, Scotland. The band plays Edinburgh and the Lothians as standard, with travel across Scotland and the UK on request. Live tape on the site is from Whistle Binkies on South Bridge.

Same frontman, different product. Mike Breen Band is the four-piece electric lineup — full volume, dance-floor energy. 3AM Band is the three-piece acoustic lineup — room-friendly, intimate, dinner-and-drinks volume. The right choice depends on the room and the night. Both are bookable through Edinburgh Bands.
