The Las Vegas duo known as Afghan Raiders is comprised of Mikey and Beans. Their dark riffs, huge beats, and energetic live performances create a blend of music that bridges the gap between electronic music, house music, grunge and pop music. The Afghan Raiders broke onto the Las Vegas scene in 2008 with their debut EP Future Thinkers / Solid Gold. They release their music on their own label, Badical Beats, which is also the name of their blog.

  • The Las Vegas duo known as Afghan Raiders is comprised of Mikey and Beans. Their dark riffs, huge beats, and energetic live performances create a blend of music that bridges the gap between electronic music, house music, grunge and pop music. The Afghan Raiders broke onto the Las Vegas scene in 2008 with their debut EP Future Thinkers / Solid Gold. They release their music on their own label, Badical Beats, which is also the name of their blog. The Afghan Raiders' quick rise in popularity has allowed them to play significant shows such as the CMJ Music Marathon in NYC, SXSW in Austin, and club circuits along the west coast. They have also played notable events such as Dim Mak's Cinespace Party in Los Angeles, Blow Up in San Francisco, and the Filter/Ben Sherman Rock Royalty party. The band has shared the stage with artists such as YACHT, Wallpaper, Classixx, and Metronomy, and have created remixes for bands including The Faint, Phoenix_(band), Black Lips, and Broken Spindles. Their remix of the Black Lips and GZA collaboration track, "The Drop I Hold", won Filter Magazine's August 2008 remix contest .
