Banditos: 
Life Ain't That Damn Difficult

Banditos are famously eclectic, paying tribute to a myriad of influences that would bury a lesser band in tuneless muck.

Mingling upright bass with kazoo and banjo while the soul-spangled howl of Mary Richardson, who plays counterpoint to a deceivingly sparse guitar, drenched in a quantity of reverb and delay, not often associated with “danceable.”
