The Bad Things

In 2002, The Bad Things' began as a two-piece, busking on the wet, Seattle sidewalks. Now a 6-piece featuring accordion, banjo, guitar, upright bass and percussion, the group has built up a devoted cult following through their raucous live shows and theatrical aesthetic. They have released four albums on their imprint Silent City Records and have been the backing band for Chumbawamba co-founder Danbert Nobacon's solo albums for the last 14 years. In a given setlist, the band can play raucous punk-inspired folk music, dark cabaret soundtracks or tender torch songs. They call it "junkyard cabaret." You have been warned.
