Andrew Garfield Reveals His Side Project Is a Band Called The Shangles

Andrew Garfield is singing a surprising tune. 

After showcasing his singing abilities in 2021’s tick, tick…BOOM!, the Oscar nominee revealed that he is indeed keeping music close to his heart through an unexpected musical endeavor.

“I do have a band, we do Bugsy Malone covers,” Garfield exclusively told E! News’ Will Marfuggi, referencing the 1976 musical. “Look out for The Shangles. Look out for a group of middle-aged guys doing Bugsy Malone covers.”

While the 42-year-old is certainly giving a little love to the band, he noted they are still waiting to see “what happens out there” for them in the future.

“We have some plans. We have some big plans,” he mused. “But I can’t really say it until it’s official—I don’t want to jinx it.”

But as the Amazing Spider-Man actor said, he and The Shangles aren’t in it for “any kind of commercial kind of success,” explaining, “It’s more of a passion project.”
