Rx Bandits
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Emerging from Orange County's thriving ska-punk scene, RX Bandits quickly made a name for themselves as a unit willing to take musical risks and lyrical stances, largely thanks to lead singer and guitarist Matt Embree, whose songwriting continued to evolve in a more progressive direction as RX Bandits grew to their eventual complement of six. Formed in 1995 as Pharmaceutical Bandits, the original lineup featured Embree, bassist Franz J. Worth, drummer Chris Tsagakis, Noah Gaffney on sax, and Rich Balling on trombone. This edition of the band cut its debut album, Those Damn Bandits, in 1997. A year later, the band officially changed its name to RX Bandits, and cut its more polished and ambitious second effort, Halfway Between Here & There, for Drive-Thru Records.
