BP Fallon & The Bandits – Fame #9 at SXSW 2012 filmed by The Black Shades

Writes the singer with The Black Shades, Aaron Lee Clark: “I had the pleasure of seeing a performance from BP Fallon & The Bandits – Hector Munoz (Alejandro Escovedo), Nigel Harrison (Blondie), Scott Asheton (The Stooges) and Aaron Lee Tasjan (Himself). It was the best performance I have seen all year. BP captivates an audience like no one I have ever seen. This guy is the real deal and gives me even more reason to have my ears to pass through movement of the band and latch onto lyrics”.

“What is the most valuable thing in the world?”

Roar power!

We are over the fucking moon – Scott Asheton the drummer with The Stooges will play with BP Fallon & The Bandits at their show tonight in Austin, Texas.

Says BP Fallon: “I got this phone call from Florida and it was Scott Asheton. He’d been watching the YouTube video of myself and The Bandits playing Van And Gloria in Holland and said he was up for having a play with us. I’m very very honoured, all the band are. Two amazing drummers – it’ll be wild!”

And! Breaking news!

Hector Muñoz by Darlene Campbell

We are proud and delighted to announce that the extraordinary Hector Muñoz will play drums in BP Fallon & The Bandits at SXSW. Hector was the driving backbeat behind Alejandro Escovedo for many many years and as well as being recognised as a brilliant drummer is a good friend of BP and the band.

Reveals regular Bandits drummer Clem Burke “I can’t do SXSW because of touring commitments so BP rang me up and said ‘What about if I ask Hector if he’s up for the drumming?’ I said ‘Yes, if you can get him, a great drummer, a very nice man, perfect for The Bandits music, he rocks and he’s powerful’. So BP rang Hector and it’s a fabulous choice”.

Also joining BP & The Bandits at SXSW is the outstanding violin and mandolin virtuoso Brendon Anthony. “Think John Cale in The Velvet Underground but even more out there” says BP enigmatically.

Love Interruption – a new song from Jack White’s forthcoming solo debut album ‘Blunderbuss’ which is out April 24 on Third Man Records.

“I’ve put off making records under my own name for a long time but these songs feel like they could only be presented under my name. These songs were written from scratch, had nothing to do with anyone or anything else but my own expression, my own colors on my own canvas”
- Jack White.

‘Blunderbuss’ is produced by Jack White and was recorded at his Third Man Studios in Nashville.
