For the last 6 years, Brooklyn's "harmonious outlaws" The Randy Bandits have been ravishing audiences with their unique brand of American music. Merging the eclectic musicianship of The Band, the earthy sincerity of Wilco, and the quirky pop-smarts of Cake, these musical adventurers dig deep into various and sundry traditions to produce newly shining gems. Their style swings from Rock to Country to Jazz to Soul to Gospel (sometimes all at once), with a jillion instruments traded amongst them, and soaring vocal harmonies.
The songs are all penned by Jim Knable and reflect the sensibility of an award-winning playwright turned songwriter. The Randy Bandits captivate fans (a.k.a. Fandits) with both sincerity and lunacy, and strive towards meaning in a culture and business deluged with artifice and irony. Plus they're fun at parties..
The Bandit's full-length debut album REDBEARD is now available on iTunes, CD Baby, and Amazon.com. GOLDEN ARROW is their new album, due out this winter...

Hi! Just wondering...is the title really "Golend Arrow" or "GOLDEN Arrow". Easy to mix that up so just thought I'd ask. I'm Spiff's cousin, and of course, LOVE you guys! Great tunes! :0)
Hey guys! The new pictures look fab by the way! I hope all is well. Jim, I am sorry I am rubbish and didn't get back to you while you were over here, but let me know when you next fly over the pond and I would be happy to do a gig with you. Love penny xxxxx
