Live music.Real connection.No apologies.

Basement Bandits are an Indianapolis, Indiana-based Gen X cover band playing the songs that defined us and the ones we never got tired of. Loud enough to feel it. Real enough to mean it.

The band

Four people who still believe the room matters.

Basement Bandits started the old-fashioned way: friends trading songs in a room until the room became a band. The set moves from classic rock and new wave to alt-rock, Americana, and the deep cuts people forgot they knew every word to.

Names, biographies, and portraits are polished placeholders and can be replaced without changing the layout.
