Edit history

Billy and the Bandits was formed in early 2018, with lead singer and songwriter Billy Hazye and guitarist Chad Penfold. The pair write, record, and produce their own music which explores many styles of country. From ballads to swamp blues, western and of course country rock. The Bandits can do it all. If you like narrative driven song writing, they have a song (or two) for you! The group regularly perform around the Central Coast. Playing venues such as The Central Coast Leagues Club, The Coast Hotel and The Entrance Leagues Club to name a few. Not only does Billy love performing and writing, he also loves presenting on community radio. Helping local artists and local community members be heard is his passion. The Bandits aim to keep writing and producing music to help spread country music around Australia.
