Branded Bandits make off with the show, SXSW 2015

Boulder is full of Americana and bluegrass, but Branded Bandits offers a merciful dose of good hard mean rock ‘n’ roll. The Boulder trio, fronted by the brother-sister left-right punch of John and LuLu Demitro, gave one of the slammingest sets at the Colorado Music Party, during SXSW 2015, at the 512 in Austin, Texas, and it would have been appropriate for them to have concluded their show with a curt “you’re welcome.”
