We, The Bads, are touring in support of our second album So Alive. We are back playing in Wellington, this time with full band. Also on the bill are our distant cousins once removed The Calico Brothers.
Well be at Happy...
The Bads - So Alive (Mana Music)
If youve never heard of Kiwi group the Bads, youve still heard of the Bads - it wouldnt make any sense for a record this accomplished to come from nowhere. The core of the group is duo Dianne Swann and Brett Adams - and together theyve been playing since 1992. Formerly known as the Julie Dolphin (and a few other incarnations in between), The Bads second album finds them in top shape, with a flawless country-indie-rocking-popping blend that doubtless led their appointment as Lucinda Williams support act of choice. Swanns voice is magic (no wonder Thom Yorke recorded a duet with her!) though the voices in harmony are better still. Enjoy the Bads while we have them - it seems the whole world wants a piece of them! Matthew Crawley CHEESEONTOAST Review
