Yo.

As you might have heard, we will be playing a few shows abroad. This time we will bring our mayhem upon Austria and Italy.

19/4 Vienna – Einbaumöbel (AT) w/ Cachimbo de Paz
20/4 Triëste – Etnoblog (IT) w/ Damned Pilots

Come and party with us! Bring all your friends and show us a good time!

As usual, Jord will keep you posted on Facebook with some highlight pictures of stupid and/or extremely fascinating stuff we’re doing.

Lastly, a big shout out to our friends in Stonerfront for helping to make this tour possible for us. We love you Peter!

Just a quick update for all you hard rockin’ longhaired or shorthaired people. As previously stated, we will be playing in Arnhem next friday supporting PETER PAN SPEEDROCK. They are known for their bas ass rock ‘n roll antics so be sure to bring enough money for buttloads of beer. We are stoked to be opening for them because we think we’re a good bet to warm up the crowd to some headbanging chaos.

On satuday, we’ll be supporting the infamous Swedish band Mascot Parade in Coevorden. So if that’s closer to your home, be sure to show up two days in a row (because you can’t afford to miss the friday show ofcourse).

Lastly, we have some ass-whooping and gratuitous (and free) “new” stickers for you to pick up. If there ever was a reason to show up at one of our gigs…

Hey there y’all,

First a big shout out to everyone who made it out to Merleyn last december 28th. It was an awesome night and we loved to hear you guys dig our new songs. A special thanks to Through the Struggle and Basilisk for making the backstage feel like home!

We’re really excited about the future and we would love to share some interesting upcoming events with you. We’re still writing new stuff and we are trying to get some new gig dates up as soon as possible, like:

On march 8th, we’ll be playing in Luxor, Arnhem, supporting Peter Pan Speedrock (BEER). Be sure to pick up some tickets and drink BEER with us. BEER.

The day after, on march 9th, we will be playing hungover but alive and kicking at Metal Front Coevorden (in Coevorden), supporting Mascot Parade from Sweden.

We hope to have some more dates soon!

New songs are coming and coming, so now it’s time again to let you guys hear the results. But before we do, there are some shows, some parties, some beers and some other stuff we need to see, have and do.

In the mean time, we are trying to get some new shows for December and the rest of 2013, so don’t hesitate to give us a call or an email if you want us to party at your place. Listen to our songs on SPOTIFY and bang that head!

Cheers, and enjoy this pic Bernard Bodt made.

So the last couple of months we have been very very busy with trying out new drummers and writing new material. Now finally we have found a new member and we have a shitload of new songs. We even have a date for our first show with the new drummer, Saturday the 14th of July on the Affaire festival.

We will share the stage with Baroness, Red Fang and UFO Mammut. And to make it all even better, the show is 100% free of charge. So get your butt over to Nijmegen the 14th of July and check out our new drummer.

Ofcourse we are still searching for more shows, so if you are interested email us at ernestobookings [at] gmail.com We hope to see you on a show near you very soon!

Zoals jullie inmiddels vast allemaal weten verlaat Stok Bandito. Om nog één keer te laten zien wat hij allemaal met twee stokken kan (ja, creatieve gedachten toegestaan) organiseren wij op 4 februari in de Plu een lijp vet afscheidsfeest met The Bips. Details hieronder! Wij zouden het enorm waarderen als je komt, met al je vrienden, vriendinnen, collega’s, ouders, opa’s, oma’s en vage kennissen (bepaalde huisdieren niet toegestaan) om Stok een waardig afscheid te geven, maar ook om gewoon keihard te feesten tot je bol knapt. Tot dan! (Of eerder!)

As you all might know by now, Stok is leaving Bandito. Because he would love to show you all one more time what he can do with two sticks (yes, you can let your imagination run wild on this one), we will throw a lijp vette farewell party on the 4th of february in the Plu with The Bips. Details below! We would really appreciate it if you could come, along with all your friends, colleagues, parents, grandparents and plain ol’ associates (certain types of pets not allowed) to give Stok a worthy farewell, but also to just party your ass of like there’s no tomorrow. See you then! (Or sooner!)

Date: February 4th

Doors: 21:00

Location (Map):

Plu

Van Oldenbarneveltstraat 63A

6512 AT Nijmegen

So we did a couple of weekend shows in Germany, Belgium and France where we made a lot of footage. All that footage combined, made this one video, for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks to anyone who came to our shows and we hope to see you next time.

Stok, de drummer van Bandito, heeft na wikken en wegen besloten om te stoppen met Bandito. Een jaar nadat de bassist en de gitarist succesvol zijn vervangen, wordt nu ook ruimte gemaakt voor een nieuwe slagwerker.

Stok geeft aan dat hij de komende optredens tot in januari nog wil volmaken, dat betekent dus flink wat weekenden met de hele band in de bus door Duitsland, Frankrijk en Belgie crossen. Het voorlopig laatste optreden met Stok zal 7 januari in Splotsz te Roelofsarendveen zijn, met de brute instrumentalisten van Tank 86.

Just a little promotional update:

We have compiled a package for all you reviewing, booking, rocking or otherwise Bandito-enthusiastic people out there. The Press Kit contains a high res logo, our biography and two free songs from our latest EP II. We made two versions: one Dutch version and one English version and you can find them in our press section.

Have fun with it, share it and above all: let those reviews come!
