The Jellybean Bandits have been together and making fine music since 1967 (with a 36 year hiatus in between). Finding out that our original LP on the Mainstream label was listed as a "highly sought after collector's item", and that the advent of the internet had elevated us to "semi-cult status" worldwide, directed us to re-group and continue where we left off 40 years ago. We were soon alerted to the fact that our music over the past 40 years has been bootlegged from every corner of the world. We have also been honored to have been included on 6 major CD compilations over the years to go along with our own 8 CD releases over the past 5 years. We have found ourselves written up in every major record collector magazine and every major publication dedecated to the preservation of classic 60's music. We are deeply honored and thank those who saw fit that the Jellybean Bandits be included in such iconic company.
As part of our band make-up, we have always, and still do, refuse to be defined by any certain genre. Now the original band is back together making music. We hope the new tunes we are producing finds it's way into Mainstream America, and we hope that our wide field of musical tastes has something to offer for everyone.
