Royal Bangs are a local three-piece indie/experimental rock group from right here in Knoxville, Tennessee. This band consists of front man, Ryan Schaefer who plays keyboards, guitar and sings, Sam Stratton on guitar and Chris Rusk on drums. They have had quite a bit of success so far and have recently played on The Late Show with David Letterman. Billboard Magazine reports that, "this rambunctious Knoxville, Tennessee, outfit caught its break after Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney discovered the group's brand of scuzzy dance rock on Myspace." They are signed by Glassnote records and have a new album out called Flux Outside. This is one of 3 albums they have released so far. They have a ton of energy on stage and are a lot of fun to watch.
Right now, they are touring in the UK but will be back to Tennessee in September. So if you get a chance to check them out definitely don't pass it up! And if the music isn't enough to draw you in, they have cool beards too!
