Bandits on the Run have unveiled “Potted Plant,” the first single from the upcoming EP, Bandits Live at the Power Station. The band describes the tune as their 'firestarter song,” explaining, ​​''Potted Plant' has had many lives — it was originally cooked up by Roy Dodger with his hometown friends and first band of musical ruffians, Ragamuffin. Bandits have since taken it on as our adopted tune, putting our own spin on it and using it busking in the subways to announce our arrival — that we are here shake things up. It's held a place of honor in banditry ever since as an off-kilter anthem to mischief and camaraderie.'

With the weekend set to kick off at any moment - personally, we like to consider Thursday morning at 12:01 a.m. the official start of the weekend (that's directed primarily to the Dowager Countess of Grantham who quite clearly didn't understand what actually constitutes a 'weekend') - so we are back with a few suggestions of our own to help make your job easier. There are some new shows opening, others which are continuing their runs and still more which will be winding up their slate of performances this weekend!

The soulful, euphoric track, which premiered via Billboard yesterday who described it as having 'a shimmering Phil Spector quality,' conjures up visions of young love, summer nights and a simpler era when Girl Groups dominated the airwaves. 'Growing up, The Shirelles, The Chiffons, The Ronettes, The Crystals and The Shangri-Las were really important to me,' says Little Steven aka Steven Van Zandt. 'This song is my take on the type of song I might have written for a Girl Group like one of those fantastic acts back in the day.'
