We, The Bads, are touring in support of our second album So Alive.
We will be playing special duo unplugged-ish versions of our songs and we will be joined on the bill by the lovely Flip Grater.
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
