We are not an organization or a group. DIY Bandits only exist when we decide to gather. And the we mentioned can be anyone at all. Sometimes we gather around fires to share stories, sometimes we gather to make our way across the country stealing back pieces of our lives, sometimes we gather to put out our friends music or writings, sometimes we gather to plan & scheme ways to destroy the U.S. empire and other times we gather to simply give each other hugs & kisses. At any moment there can be various Bandits gathering, interacting with each other on each others projects.

If there is a project that interests you or one that hasn’t been done yet, but needs doing, please get in touch and perhaps we can gather for it. Understand that when we gather as DIY Bandits, there is no obligation of any kind. You can walk away at any moment – DIY Bandits is something that you can pick up when you want and throw it away the instant you don’t trust it or doubt its worth.

DIY Bandits do not belong to the anarchist scene, punk scene, underground scene, or mainstream scene. Bandits are not interested in being seen as a scene but rather in dismantling all scenes. We exist in real life, we are real poeple, real friends fighting real battles, loving real lovers. We are fed up school bus drivers, free & wild wanderers of the ultra modern age, anarchist parents, transcended satanists, poor workers and little kids. This is not a lie, all the above mentioned folks have gathered up to help pull off Bandit projects and we are all waiting for you to join us when needed and destroy us when needed.

One day, not too long ago
various friends and strangers; outcast from society,
fired from jobs,
escaped from probation and community service sentences,
evicted from squats- on the run from landlords
and law enforcement agents
all wound up taking refuge in the backroads of a small town
littered with rundown factories, warehouses
and passing freight trains.  Within a few days they all crossed paths and soon after began
gathering around fires, under bridges and in
small caves to share stories about their lives as
BANDITS and the adventures they had chasing dreams and fighting capitalism.
These stories lead to ideas. Ideas became plans and plans
were followed thru to create projects. And from that point on they gather
as the DIY Bandits from time to time to tackle various new projects.

In sum; when they gather, an army of dreamers and insurgents is forged.  And with such an imagination overturning everything, there is
NO NEED FOR SUCCESS – NO TIME FOR FAILURE
