Yeah, that’s right! 11 years! Hard to believe, isn’t it? Well, here we are and we’re going to celebrate godammit!
We missed our 10th year anniversary last year as things just got too crazy after our practice space fire and the Cafe Racer shootings. I, honestly, didn’t even think about it until it had come and gone. So, why not an 11th year anniversary party? We always were a little “different” anyway.
The show is going to feature a whole slew of old friends and guest performers. Already slated to perform are opening bands Miss Mamie Lavona and her White Boy Band and Bakelite 78, both bands feature Bad Things members, are old friends and we can’t think of better openers. Armitage Shanks, our old compatriot from way back in the Midnite Choir days, will be hosting the show. The gals from Sinner/ Saint Burlesque will be performing throughout the night and guest performers include: former Bad Things MC/concertinist Danny Dead (!!), Danbert Nobacon, Melissa Cerise-Bullock (Bat Country), members of Orkestar Zirkonium and more.
And, in homage to the horrible tragedies of last year, we will be donating $1 of advanced ticket sales to the Victims of Cafe Racer Shootings Memorial Fund. Nancy, the organizer, told me that for the year anniversary of the shootings she hopes to transform the fund into a more general fund for all victims of violent crime and their families. Hopefully, we can help her get that started.
The shindig goes down on Thursday, June 27th at The Crocodile. You can get those advanced tickets here and I advise you do as this is sure to be a packed house.
The Bad Things 
God! I love you guys! I’m a huge fan!! You guys played at my cousin Adam’s house on halloween, and I actually played a song I wrote on the spot with you guys. I wish I could go to this cause this is on my birthday, but I’m turning 17…well hope, you guys actually remember me maybe..but hope this show is awesome! -sincerely Zerrin McLaughlin huge fan.
Hey Zerrin! Of course we remember you. Never forget that “walk around the jack-o-lantern” song. We had a note that you wrote us on the wall of our old practice space that, unfortunately, burnt down. We are doing a couple free, all ages shows in July. Check our shows page. Hope you’re well and send our love to Adam if you talk to him!
