The Badloves

The Flying Saucer Club are very excited to have The Badloves perform this coming October. The Badloves hit debut album “Get On Board” spent a massive 69 weeks in the charts, peaked at number 5 and went double platinum; delivering 5 hit singles in, ‘Lost’, ‘Memphis’, ‘I Remember’, ‘The Weight’ (w Jimmy Barnes), ‘Memphis’ and ‘Green Limousine’. After extensive tours in Australia and Europe, The Badloves released their second album in 1995, ‘Holy Roadside’ to critical acclaim, further ARIA nominations, and another string of hit singles in “Slave”, ‘Barefoot Bride’, ‘Living Thing’ and ‘Caroline’, establishing them as one of this country’s premier acts. As author Andrew Masterson wrote on the back of The Badloves debut single, Lost: ‘Knob-twiddling wizardry has its place in music, but its influence will never be as strong, or as enduring, as the sounds produced by the classic combination of two guitars, bass, drums and a mega-whomping Hammond organ’. Supporting The Badloves on the night will be Helen Ryder. A must see!

‘The Badloves both continue and extend the grand tradition of such music, pushing out a sound that would have seemed quite at home at Muscle Shoals in 1967, while remaining as fresh and original as tomorrow’. They are already a part of Australian music history having become a household name and influencing a generation of musicians and music lovers. Inspired by the past, The Badloves are a band that’s very much focused on the future… ‘It feels like we’re starting again’, Michael smiles. ‘Which is very exciting’.

Band Line-up:
Michael Spiby – vocals, guitar
Stephen “Irish” O’Prey – bass
