About Me


------------------------------------------------------------ --------
We, Bastila...
..Have grown, played, drunk, slept, and laughed together since adolescence.
We know each another better than we know ourselves.
Shows last year include playing at the 'BBC Introducing' stage at Bestival,
along with a spree of gigs across the UK.
People compare us to The Specials and The Stone Roses..
However with varied tastes running throughout the band, you'll find comparisons range far and wide.
Signing to Rob Da Bank's label 'Sunday Best', has given us the opportunity to record our work.
Our debut single is due for release in 2009 with an album to follow.
"I haven't seen such spirit and energy for ages from an unsigned act -
they reminded me of videos of The Clash I’d seen.
So we snapped ‘em up for the festival and the label!”.
Rob Da Bank 2008.
We will be hitting the streets in our Ford Transit conversion,
appearing at a run of festivals over the summer.
Look out..
