Bandides: Rebellious, Experimental, and Unconventionally Fun!

Bandides are a force to be reckoned with — a band that defies categorization and pushes boundaries with every note. Recorded in Melbourne with Oscar Jimenez (Amaru Tribe), their latest release is a daring journey into the absurd, exploring themes of technology, relationships, and social commentary. Their breakout single "SOLO" is a prime example of their unique sound — blending cutting-edge technology with infectious rhythms, and offering thought-provoking lyrics that challenge societal norms.

At the heart of Bandides are Andy Fernandez and David Von Almendra, originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, who curate and perform as a dynamic collective of artists. Together, they bring a diverse fusion of influences, from cumbia and rock to hip-hop, pop, electronic, and dance. Their sound is as rebellious and experimental as it is irresistibly fun — a whirlwind of genres and styles that make for a live performance you won’t forget.

After taking over multiple venues over the past year, Bandides is ready to bring their singular, unruly sound to the stage this summer with a highly anticipated tour in Sydney and the Gold Coast. Get ready for an explosive, immersive experience that’s as much about the energy as it is about the message.

What to Expect:

A genre-defying setlist blending cumbia, rock, hip-hop, pop, and electronic influences
Bold and socially conscious lyrics that challenge the status quo
High-energy live performances filled with electric moments and infectious fun
A band that isn’t afraid to experiment and take risks with their sound and message

Join Bandides for a wild ride through music, culture, and creativity that will leave you questioning everything and dancing all night long!
