The Pigram Brothers are a 7 piece Indigenous Australian band from the pearling town of Broome, Western Australia formed in 1996. They were heavily involved in Broome's musical and theatrical exports - forming the original backing band for Bran Nue Dae in 1990 - a musical that gathered international acclaim.
The Pigram Brothers had a large music influence from an early age, and grew up in the rich musical culture of Broome. Alan, Steven and Phillip were members of Scrap Metal from 1983 until its separation in 1995.
