Irrational  Theatre presents The Hanging Bandits at The Hub on Verulam |  St Albans

Wednesday 12th March at 7.30pm  www.ticketsource.co.uk/mytickets

The Hanging Bandits are a folk rock four-piece from Hertfordshire. Their influences include musicians like Bob Dylan, Father John Misty, Lankum and The Jam, although a lot of the band’s songs are inspired by hip hop and songwriting they all love. Into the mix, theyhave developed a style which combines folk with aspects of grunge and brit-pop and emphasises lyricism, usually focused around working-class life and themes of friendship and society.
 
Their debut album Domesticated Animals was released last year and the band is very close to releasing their second album The Captain’s Last Words.

Returning to  The Hub on Verulam, St Albans on Wednesday 12th March at 7.30pm  www.ticketsource.co.uk/mytickets
