The Beatnik Bandits are a new breed of classic American musician. With a pop/rock/americana sound that's as modern as it is nostalgic, it seems the word that best describes them is "timeless".
Upon first glance, one thing is deadly obvious. They're happy as hell to be playing music.
Digging deeper, though, the road they've traveled begins to sound like an adventure suited for the greats.
Ask them yourself!
Ask them about the time their trailer got broken into, and it took a high-speed car chase through downtown Austin to retrieve their gear. Or about the time they conducted a sting operation with the APD to bring down the guy who stole said gear, or about the morning after when they woke up to their van and trailer destroyed by fire and the ongoing arson investigation.
Ask them about the shows they've sold out, or the shows they've played to empty rooms, or about the nights they've stayed up fighting or about the fight's they've gotten into to protect each other on dark streets after late shows. Make sure to ask them about their craziest night in Kansas city, it'll make em laugh.
The Beatnik Bandits have come a long way, but they've got a much longer road ahead of them.
