Local based groove rock band, The Blue Light Bandits are excited to release a music video for “Mess You Make Me” on March 19. “Mess You Make of Me” was one of two songs that the Blue Light Bandits put out on February 26 along with track, “A Little Love.”

The song marks great changes for the band as the song features local solo act, Ricky Duran, who had previously competed on NBC’s The Voice. Duran is now lead guitarist and vocalist for the band.

The band began recording the songs ConverseRubberTracks, a program that lets independent artists apply for complimentary studio time with a professional sound engineer at an acclaimed studio. The Bandits were selected for the project in December 2014, and recorded the songs at Q Division Studios in Somerville in January of 2015.

Upcoming gigs for the Blue Light Bandits include Medusa Brewing Company’s 1­year Anniversary Party on March 5, headlining the Worcester Music Awards at Jillian’s on April 13, and opening for national touring and recording act New Politics at Worcester Polytechnic Institute for its Big Spring Show on April 23.

The release party for the music video will be held on March 19, on the patio at Michael’s Cigar Bar in Worcester. Entry is open and free to the public.
