The Love Bandits

I had, for about three days, a band called the Love Bandits in about 1984 (named after a brilliant song by the Cadets that is worth tracking down)- it was a rhythm and blues idea - so when I saw this French band had that obviously brilliant moniker I had to check them out and guess what? They're brilliant! They cite Bo Diddley and Slim Harpo as influences but they have a now sound - though with amplified harp. Got ta listen to them...ok? Sound of groovy 'now' French garage punk blues.
