I’m not exactly sure why music writers of both sexes, when covering all female bands, always make sure to point that fact out – I don’t think I’ve ever read or heard the "all dudes band" thing. Maybe because everybody likes gals while only gals (in most cases) like dudes? Admittedly, there are a lot more guys in bands than girls, so an all girl band is kind of rare and therefore exciting. Anyhoo, the purpose of this never ending pointless intro is to introduce you to Dawn Landes‘ new group, called The Bandana Splits. The 3 ladies – who should look into organizing a tour with The Debutante Hour – play charming old timey folky tunes with frequent excursions into doo-wop and 50s pop territory. If vocal harmonies are your thing (they are our thing!) you owe it to yourself to listen to this band.
