INTERVIEW: BANDITAS

They may be angel-faced and lovely to listen to, but make no mistake: there is nothing delicate, naive nor entirely wholesome about the music being made by the women of Banditas. Catch them LIVE at the Plough and Stars in Cambridge tonight!

KETMAN FAREWELL SHOW @ GREAT SCOTT

Ketman

Hmm. That’s a suspiciously good line-up over at Great Scott tonight—Banditas, Battle House, Ho-Ag, and of course, our mostest-favoritest group of gypsy-surf-punks ever to draw direct inspiration from Polish poetry, Ketman, who are a good seven years into their reign over the “Genreless-Awesome” category of Boston music.

The one that ten years from now, you’ll be able to casually mention that you saw over at the Great Scott on just your average Saturday night (sharing a bill with Hands & Knees and Banditas, best you can recollect), and then it’s nothing but hushed reverence and free space-beer for the rest of the evening.
