The Bandit Kings are on National XM Radio

Posted on by Joanne

Gloucester based band The Bandit Kings debuted Nationally on Sirius XM Satellite Radio on Wednesday, December 21, 2011. The band was recorded live and interviewed for “Having Words with Meg” a new monthly radio series on The Loft hosted by seminal radio DJ Meg Griffin. The show is a new concept, originating from Bang-A-Song Studios (also in Gloucester) and will air again on Friday, December 23 at 3pm (The Bandits episode will air another two times next week—check listings for The Loft Show XM 30). The Gloucester band spoke about the burgeoning music scene on Cape Ann, played songs from their records, and were joined by special guest & co-producer, Dave Mattacks (Fairport Convention, Paul McCartney).

Meg Griffin who is in The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame spent 25 years on NYC’s rock radio (WNEW FM, KROCK, WFUV) until going National for the past 12 years on Sirius XM Satellite Radio.  She moved from NYC to Gloucester full time 3 years ago and does her daily radio shows from a home studio. The new Bandit Kings CD, Epic Hello, was released in November. The band recently played in Portsmouth, Cambridge, and Vermont and will play Molly Malone’s in Los Angeles on January 19. Collectively they are: Dan King, Ann Marie Shimanoski, Renee Dupuis, Joe Cardoza, and Dennis Monagle, (also known as the weekly house band for The Rhumbline’s Monday Night Open Jamm). “I have been continually wowed by the amount of great music originating here in Gloucester and all over the North Shore of Massachusetts. I am thrilled to get some of these great artists and bands onto national radio on The Loft, Sirius XM 30.” Hear “Having Words With Meg” on Sirius XM’s The Loft (Channel 30) debut with Bandit Kings and Dave Mattacks: Fri December 23, 3pm ET

Thursday Night Blues Party at The Rhumb Line With Dave Sag.

Posted on by Joanne

Dave says,

As part of Cerebral Hemorrhage Week we’re proud to offer free trepanning demonstrations on the privacy of your own barstool. Cordless drills provided. We’ve even hired the commodious Dr. Steve Sadler to help to defray the cost of an entire rosy, new outlook. Hotflash debunker and Propofol® enthusiast, he’s sure to keep your mind in mind as we troll thru the river Lethe, looking for…what? Great tunes ensue. The fur will fly.   Padding out our Xmas lineup will be that local wunderkind, Mr. John Loud, on ticking valves and tappets. Drummbs, too. A groove of glue. Of course, Greg T., on catarrh, and myself, on base, complete the aggravation. A splendid time for all!     And may I take a moment to thank you all for your continued support down thru the years. Without your support we’d be less than zero. Please enjoy the holidays responsibly. The Blooz Party is safe when taken as directed. Call the Boston Herald if you have an erection that lasts more than four hours!

9:00- 12:00

What’s the Good Word?
OMG THATS SOME SIRIUS RADIO: We just know everyone we care about would want to hear that The Bandits spent last Sunday afternoon at Bang-A-Song Studios in Gloucester recording a live radio show for Sirius XM Satellite Radio. No, really. More info TBA.

MINI TOUR! Tomorrow, Friday, December 16 the BKs play the Plough and Stars in Cambridge with the guitar-iffic Brad Byrd; then on Saturday, December 17 Bandits Ann Marie and Dan King take a road trip up the line to Burlington, VT (they promised Flash they’d take her to the Ben & Jerry’s headquarters if she went with them…) where they’ll join Mr. Byrd at Radio Bean Coffeehouse (the place for those in the know, y’know?). Scroll down for times and more show info.

2ND ANNUAL MIGHTY FANCY NEW YEARS: The Bandit Kings and the BFs are hosting the Rhumbline’s NYE Party again this year and if the pictures from last year are any indication of how much friggen fun it was (cause we can’t remember it all for some reason), then this year is going to be EPIC.

BIGGER MINI TOUR! “Hello? Hi, this is Los Angeles calling, is this the Bandit Kings? Fantastic, well, we just rocked so hard with you last winter the entire state would like to make sure you all were coming back rull soon, like, say around January 18-22? Great we’ll see you there!”

BKS ON THE TEE VEE: Bandits Ann Marie and Dan King are on “the scene.” Local Music Scene with Allen Estes that is! Christmas Special! Check Channel 12 for times or see archived shows online here.

SPECIAL THANKS: Well. It’s been quite a month and we need to get a couple of thank you’s out there. You might already know that the BKs sophomore album, Epic Hello, was officially released on November 5, 2011. At the same time, the band’s pretty mugs were on the cover of the November issue of The Noise-Boston, and Mr. Tee Max, editor of the said Noise, made that happen (along with his awesome ladyfriend, Ann, who distributes the zine EVERWHARE!). Tee also co-sponsored the Gloucester Epic Hello CD Release Party along with big music supporters Peter and Vicki Van Ness at Gimmesound. What you might not know is that It is because of our photographically inclined den mother Louise Welch that The Noise even knows we exist, and because of a remarkably well written article by Mrs. Samantha Goddess that the Bandit Kings came off sounding like a grown-up band with real instruments. THANK YOU. From the bottom of our lungs, THANK YOU.

Boston Band Crush crushes on title song from new album, Epic Hello: “...They seem to have an innate understanding between them, like someone you will let wander off at a store/party/show and don’t worry about finding…” Read the full article here


The Noise-Boston features awesome review of full album in the Decemeber issue: “…The title track “Epic Hello” stands by itself as a soothing, sad, emotional journey of desire with a matching melody that is rarely stumbled upon by any rock ’n’ roll musicians.” Read the review here

The Bandit Kings are:
Renee Dupuis on lead vocals and keys, Ann Marie, also on lead vocals, Dennis Monagle on drums, Joe Cardoza on bass, and Dan King on lead guitar. The Bandit Kings’ play original tunes written by the band members and hot b-sides by classic artists for longer shows. They have found bare-bones musical chemistry, including the rich meld of vocalists Ann Marie and Dupuis, who “both have voices that bring us back to the dawn of country rock, whisky soaked and raspy in just the right places while never crossing into the overpowering. The song is a rare treat that could have been tossed aside as a boring anachronism in less capable hands.” -Boston Band Crush
