DAYBREAK BANDITS
Rock / Alternative
The unique part of Daybreak Bandits is the diversity of the instruments. Each member contributes to each song what they've been brought up on. When they create, you never know kind of genre they'll write in. In the end, it all comes out with a Jam Band, Rock and Roll feel that allows plenty of oppurtunity to jam and variate the song live.
Daybreak Bandits started when Pat Ellis was hosting a party. He was playing guitar and needed a bass player. Chris Cash just happened to have his bass in his car. He put his beer down and plugged in. Ellis and Cash rocked the party until the cops came.
Ellis and Cash continued in various cover bands. After one show, Ian Carr wanted to jam. Their drummer at the time left the two guitar players stranded and Ian said he'd give them a ride home if they would jam with him. They rocked the stage for another hour and left.
Ellis, Cash and Carr kept jamming through the Fall and Winter of 2005. In the Spring of 2006, Cash heard from a good friend of his named Chris Thompson. He invited him over to jam and the band knew instantly that Thompson was their frontman.
Since that day, the Bandits have been working hard promoting their first CD that was released Oct. 28th. They're looking to move to Colorado in June of 2007 to start making a name for themselves and touring as much as possible.
The name behind the band came a long way. The original name was Woven. After using that name for a while, they received a few e-mails about copyright problems and a threat of being sued. So, the name was changed to Mavan. Still, there were copyright problems. After a few weeks of trying to find a name, Ian said on a whim, "Daybreak Bandits? Who else would name their band that?" Everyone liked it and it stuck.
Influences include Zeppelin, Hendrix, Clapton, Marley, Sublime, Buckcherry, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Temple Pilots, Audioslave, Soundgarden, Sevendust and Incubus.
