 The Handsome Bandit 

The Handsome Bandit is an American band from Chicago, IL. Originally formed by Eric Niequist (Frontman and Bassist), Allison Hogan (Piano and Vocals), and Phil McIntire (Drummer and Backup Vocals) in 2010. The trio released their first EP: Sneaky (2010) and performed at well known venues such as Double Door Chicago, Cubby Bear Chicago, Reggies Chicago, Penny Road Pub, Clearwater Theater, Lily’s Chicago, Two Brothers RoundHouse Aurora. The Band is described by fans as, “Sounds like ''Panic! At The Disco meets Ben Folds'' with a refreshing garnish of Pop-Rock, and a sprinkle of Swing!”

In 2012 the band decided to take a break and focus on their own endeavors. Phil McIntire has since moved to Bend, Oregon and is currently drumming for the band Cosmonautical. Allison Hogan gained her performance degree from Columbia College Chicago in 2017. Since the bands break Hogan has worked with top artists such as Jon Walker (former bassist of Panic! At The Disco) releasing Real Life (EP) 2015, and studying under Myron Myers, Sharon Carlson, Barbara Robertson, Janice Razaq, Albert Williams, Ashton Byrum, and Amy Uhl. Eric Niequist began his own professional videography company: New Brach Films. In 2018 the band reunited as a duo: Eric Niequist and Allison Hogan and is set to release Spotlight (EP) 2019.
