Wille and the Bandits are a three piece ensemble pushing the barriers of the roots rock scene. Forming just over a year ago, they have already achieved great things. As one of the hardest working bands in the South west they never shy away from a challenge and spread their wings all round the UK clocking up numerous miles, sleeping in the back of vans and sofa surfing to get their sound heard. Headlining shows in London, Bournemouth, and Bristol and regularly playing sell-out shows to their ocean loving South west fan base.
The band pride itself on their original compositions and energetic stage act, engrossing audiences from all ages and walks of life with their fresh sound, seamlessly juggling between Funk, Reggae, Americana, Hip Hop, Latin and Rock styles.
Front man Wille is widely acclaimed for his unique pioneering lap slide guitar playing and whiskey soaked vocals inspired by the roots men of old. As for the Bandits, the tight grooves provided by Ex Cantaloop bassist Kieran Doherty and multi percussionist Andy Naumann create a driving energy which encapsulates audiences to dance all night long.
This year they will be playing across the country at many of the most prestigious festivals including Larmer Tree, Greenbelt, Gold Coast Ocean Fest, Beach Breaks Live, Jersey Longboard Fest, Maker Sunshine Festival to name but a few. Before embarking on a European Tour to promote their debut EP ‘Samsara’.
If the past year has been anything to go by these guys are heading for big things!
The First EP - Samsara is available to buy on iTunes now
