Long Underwear Bands

Union Suit Rally is an eight member, popular Indianapolis band, formed in 2015, naming themselves after one-piece long underwear. Who wouldn't want to rally in their Union Suits? The group began with friends meeting in a basement to strum and sing, eventually growing into sort of a hillbilly country team. Their music has been described as sometimes bluegrass, punk, some jazz, other times blues, honky-tonk, folk, rock, alternative country, and sometimes a mix of heavy metal thrown in for good measure. Whew! The band will even perform an Irish tune or two. No kidding. They can't be pigeon holed. Forget labeling this long underwear band. It's that simple, if their music is not. Union Suit Rally has a good, mid-west following. They are well known enough that their crowds easily join in, singing and clapping along.

With Brad Powers as the bands' front band, Chris Cunningham is featured on the mandolin. Their songs include White Silk Dress, Bluebilly, and Pray for Prey. Song titles and lyrics are as diverse as their music.

There is no evidence who, if any of the them, wear union suits. Neither are there any photos of them in their long johns, at least, none that I could find. The name alone proves, however, they are a Long Underwear Band.
