TMB(sometimes known as simply Midnight Beast) are a British group, from London, most famous for their YouTube cover-parody of "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha. Their video version of "Tik Tok" features all three group members - Stefan Abingdon, Dru Wakely and Ashley Horne. Stefan added a '£' to his name for the Tik Tok Parody to mimic the '$' that Ke$ha added to her name.
Stefan Abingdon has been in such bands as The Midnight Patrol (Still present), Perfect People (Still present), Icarus Burning (2005), R.U.Twin and The Clik Clik (2005-2007). Dru Wakely was also a member of The Clik Clik and Perfect People. Ashley Horne has been in such programs as Eastenders, genie in the house (nickelodeon) (BBC)and Doctor Who (BBC).
The Midnight Beast write their songs with an emphasis on song parody. On Christmas Day 2009, "Tik Tok (Parody)" was featured on the front page of MTV.com.
Ke$ha has seen and commented on the group's parody of her song, tweeting "Holy. shit. this is better than my version."
The Midnight Beast played at The Great Escape festival in Brighton, East Sussex in May 2010.
