With their fresh approach to blues rock music, Wille and the Bandits have been assertively carving a place for themselves in Europe’s music scene, developing a reputation as one of the best live acts around. The band was listed in the top ten must-see bands at Glastonbury 2014 by BBC Radio 1 and was personally invited to perform on the German TV show Rockpalast; a musical institution of global import. Essentially, Wille and the Bandits is a classic blues rock three-piece band, much in the vein of Cream or The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and, like these bands, is pushing at the boundaries of their genre.
The band combines three talented and committed musicians who come from very different musical backgrounds. Wille’s exquisite slide guitar playing and powerful vocals are given perfect momentum with Andy’s innovative drumming, while virtuoso Matt, with his 6-string bass and double bass, adds a class and polish rarely seen in a Rock act. The great musicianship with infectious songs has inspired praise from Rock legends such as Ian Paice, Joe Bonamassa and Francis Rossi. Throughout a performance, the band can be seen playing a range of instruments, sometimes simultaneously, sometimes switching between various guitars, basses and percussion within the same song, giving the audience a complete performance which has seen the popularity of Wille and the Bandits grow at an exceptional rate.
