3 Banditos is the result of a successful collaboration evolved. 
Frankfurt based Tobias Schmitt and Jair-Rohm Parker Wells, who lives in 
Sweden first met in October of 2004 when they performed together at the 
Forum for Experimental Music in Frankfurt. Schmitt on laptop and Parker 
Wells on the Fichter electric double bass augmented by electronics 
proved to be an inspired combination and the two made it a point to 
perform as often as possible at venues hosting improvised 
electro-acoustic music around Germany. The live performances where 
always well received and filled with exciting twists and turns of 
discovery. The pair knew immediately that this was something to be 
documented and distributed to a larger audience. After a couple of 
failed direct to DAT attempts at their live gigs, local Frankfurter 
musician and studio owner Tomislav Bucalic (who had previously 
collaborated with Schmitt on Suspicion Breeds Confidence) stepped up to 
the plate and offered the duo space in his studio along with his skills 
on bass and processed Fender Rhodes as well as varied and sundry other 
instruments and objects. In November 2005 the three entered Bucalic's 
studio and performed the improvisation that would become the first 3 
Banditos release "Sympathy for the Donkey".
