Wet Bandits in the Basement

Residing on the sun-drenched shores of Australia, Wet Bandits are carving a distinctive path within the indie-rock landscape with a sonic tapestry that is both nostalgic and undeniably fresh. Reflecting a common trend among Australasian artists, Wet Bandits have, for a long time, largely been flying under the radar of local audiences and instead cultivated a dedicated and passionate international fanbase, mainly across the United States, Mexico, Brazil and the UK. This global appreciation for their creative output is vividly demonstrated by the staggering stats of their breakout single, Movies As Friends, which boasts upwards of 8 million streams on YouTube and Spotify alone. The band has been highly prolific, consistently released EPs and albums since 2018 and demonstrating a relentless drive for artistic expression. Following the release of their album ‘Bad Tattoos and Weathermen’ in 2025, Wet Bandits are coming in hot in 2026 with tour dates across NZ and Australia and more music on the way.
