Yee-haw! Lordy lordy! Country rocking and a whole lotta fun.
The Coast Bandits take a ride through the USA searching out and meeting more than a few 'eccentric dancers' on the way'. Why not give in... and join in?
Jim and Colin team up with occasional Bandito Ali Todd on lead guitar and backing vocals (check out his solo work on streaming platforms...brilliant!) and ride the rocky road to... El Dorado.

Last month we had a look at YouTube and found the most popular songs on our Channel during 2024 were:-
3) Slowbake
2) Feel Good Day
1) Coming Home

We've now done the same for Spotify and our most popular songs for 2024 were (in the time old dramatical format)
3) Feel Good Day
2) Possum Brady
1) Lost in the Snow
Have a quick taster listen (oxymoronic?) here before you pop over to Spotify... and please don't forget to give us a follow.
You can hold out for Nos 2 and 1 or just binge the lot on our Spotify playlists or link on YouTube or just ask Alexa...
Give it a try... ⛩

I Used to be Young 🎸🎸🎸
This track sees us thinking back to when we started out as a band and of our early gigs in local pubs and clubs in Ayrshire (The Red Lion and North Beach in Prestwick, Sandrianne and Grand Hall in Kilmarnock, Caledonian Hotel, Pavillion and Bobby Jones in Ayr, Troon Concert Hall and many more! Around that time, we often got asked to play Neil Young songs and ended up with quite a few on our playlist. So with a tip of the hat to the man himself (and our tongues in our cheeks), we dreamed up this wee song. Delighted to have our ex bandmate from those early days, Willie Scott, join us on Bass Guitar and backing vocals for the track.
