Brass Carnival formed in Adelaide in the late 60s and was likely one of the town’s first showbands in the 1970s. The band went through many lineup changes over the years. Brass Carnival regularly supported visiting national and international artists including John Farnham, Robin Jolley, Pussyfoot, Cleo Laine, Bev Harrell, and many more. In 1977, they released the single ''One Little Kiss'', which charted in South Australia. In 2020 Gary Burrows reflected on his time with the band ''It does seem a strange name for Brass Carnival, however, we did have a brass section that was with us for years until we decided to move to Sydney and tour up and down the east coast. They were replaced by two synth players and trumpet some of whom stayed with us for the recording of two singles with Nationwide on EMS. "One Little Kiss" did peak at #8 on either 5KA or 5AD printed charts, but I am unable to find any of those charts in existence now''. The band finished up in 1977.
