We have never had the opportunity to see them in-person and are excited to bring these guys back down South for their Chattanooga debut. The boys have an EP and 7-inch available now with more in the works. Check’em out below:
Banditos are no strangers to Chattanooga… Our last encounter with this Birmingham, Alabama crew was earlier this year at JJ’s Bohemia, where they shared the stage with locals Strung Like a Horse. And ever since, we’ve been thirsty for more! Check out a killer live take and stream their latest full-length ‘The Filthy Sessions’ below:

A lot of people asked us after the Those Darlins show this Saturday at Track 29, “What happened to Kelley Darlin?” And the answer we had was the same: “Kelley [whose real last name is Anderson] left the band a couple months ago to work on other projects and is now fronting a new band called Grand Strand.”
We too were very upset by the news of Anderson’s departure from Those Darlins, but just seconds into hearing Grand Strand’s fantastic debut single ‘Cactus Blooms,’ we quickly embraced this new career change and found ourselves hungry for more. The 7-inch single for ‘Cactus Blooms’ will be out later this month on Riot House Records followed by a full length in the future.
But no worries, you’ll be able to experience Grand Strand sooner than you’d expect! The new band is hitting the road this month opening for Richard Lloyd of Television, a tour that is dropping by Chattanooga’s Lindsey Street Hall June 20th! We can’t wait! But until then, stream the new single and check out the full June tour dates below:
