Fallon and his band, the Bandits, did manage to find time away from the studio, Austin&#8217;s Red Horse Ranch, to perform a few gigs in town for the festival. But it was work on the LP that truly brought the gang down to Texas this March.<\/p>\n<p>News of the upcoming set, titled <em>Still Legal<\/em>, didn&#8217;t arrive via traditional routes (a press release, FB announcement, et al.), but rather the below featurette, documenting the group&#8217;s trip to Austin, Fallon&#8217;s ascent from rock&#8217;s backstage to the spotlight, and behind-the-scenes studio footage. Most notably, perhaps, is the formation of Fallon&#8217;s band, which includes drummer Clem Burke and bassist Nigel Harrison, two members of the Rock Hall of Fame-inducted Blondie lineup. Fallon has always been a guy who could enlist talented (and yeah, famous) names at the drop of his ever-present bowler cap, but now he&#8217;s putting these guys to particular good use.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the clips, we can expect a vintage &#8217;70s rock vibe comprising the backdrop, while Fallon takes the role of frontman\/rock poet with his half-sung\/half-spoken lyrical delivery. If the aforementioned single is any indication, this record will be a highlight of the year around here.<\/p>\n<p>Get acquainted with Fallon &amp; Co. below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RMWKldfenx8?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0\" height=\"303\" width=\"539\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-festivalfever"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/twentyfourbit.com\/l\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/twentyfourbit.com\/l\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/twentyfourbit.com\/l\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/twentyfourbit.com\/l\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/twentyfourbit.com\/l\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/twentyfourbit.com\/l\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":172,"href":"http:\/\/twentyfourbit.com\/l\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165\/revisions\/172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/twentyfourbit.com\/l\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/twentyfourbit.com\/l\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/twentyfourbit.com\/l\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
