Why this name?
That's a difficult one to answer.
Do you play live?
See Live Events for latest info
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It helps old gits like us strut our stuff.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Only if we could trash a hotel as part of the deal.
Band History:
Bandoid formed out of a coalescing ball of hot air and gas orbiting around the Strawbs at Bilston circa 2006. Constantly bombarded by debris leaving a pockmarked exterior. In c 500,000 years, will gain enough critical mass to be considered a near earth object.
Sightings:
Appeared at Strawbs Xmas party in 2008 complete with malfunctioning organ.
Nearly appeared at Strawbs 40th Anniversary 2009 (but made it to the programme)
Appeared again in May 2010 in Aldermaston and Staines for a World Tourette.
Likely to appear again in the heavens once every blue moon.
