I AM BANDINI!

About Me

I AM BANDINI! marks the beginning of a new chapter in the semi-autobiographical adventure of former Fake Ideal members Daniel Bandini, Irwin Bandini and Ricardo Bandini. Influences include Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Clash, Afghan Whigs, The Replacements, Lift to Experience, Charles Bukowski and John Fante - from whom they take their name and with whom they share a love of drink, women and good literature. "Blisteringly powerful garage rockers, born from the ashes of should-a-beens Fake Ideal and reminiscent of the Afghan Whigs or local legends Groop Dogdrill" James Jam NME.
