Rx Bandits will resume their musical campaign after another hiatus following their OC House Of Blues performance in January of 2020. Two decades of destroying and rebuilding musical genres into a unique energy exchange between audience and band has shaped the band's motivation for live performances; anyone who has been to an RX show knows this and feels it deeply. After surviving multiple periods of chaos and disarray which nearly ended the band, RXBANDITS are stronger than ever and ready to bring their highly interactive live show to you and leave it all on the stage and in your hearts.
~~~~~~~~
Rx Bandits is a progressive indie rock band from Long Beach. Gemini, Her Majesty is their sixth studio album; simply put, it is their best album to date. A mosaic of modern composition, Gemini, Her Majesty not only spans the construct of time, but is sure to be timeless, serving as the portrait of a band defined.
The album's narrative is multi-faceted, traveling along layers of parallel time and parallel struggle. Feeling the tremendous weight of loss from two childhood friends whose journey ended in too-soon tragedy, vocalist Matthew Embree was affected by both recurring dreams of a young girl, and the band's real-time struggle of watching one of their own- bassist Joe Troy- fall captive to the same drug dependency that had taken the lives of the aforementioned friends two years earlier. The dreams inhabited an ambiguous space for Embree, and he began the initial songwriting process using lyrics to probe the possibilities of who she was and why she was. Six songs in it became clear: the yet-to-be-titled album was emerging to be at once the eulogy of lost friends, and serve as an exploration of the delicate nature of the band's existence. After all, Rx Bandits had recently been on an indefinite hiatus, affected by that which comes with age: the magnified responsibilities of fatherhood and family, the balance of art and life, the wear and tear of the road, and the polar nature of an unforgiving industry.
