Basement
Bandits

Meet the band

The lineup.

Basement Bandits started the way most bar bands do: friends trading songs until the songs turned into a set. It runs from classic rock and Southern rock through '80s and '90s staples, country, and current radio, with originals worked in beside them.

About the portraitsStand-ins drawn from the band artwork until photographs are taken; Rocket's is the real thing. April found Rocket as an infant; he grew up in the basement the band rehearses in.
