Since forming in 2008, Bad Chad and The Good Girls, a crunk pop trio based in southern Louisiana, have merged 808 bass, playful lyrics, and electronic production into an inventive frenzy of dance tracks!

Their piercing vocals, loud colors, raw bass, and ninja like dance moves encourage the crowd to chant the memorable hooks and engage the experience.

You definitely can't call it hip-hop, but you can't really call it pop. Actually, you can't really call it anything. I suppose what Chad does is rap, and he has two cute girls to assist him, with incredibly strange, but fun beats to back him up. The live show is quite an event, as well. This is the type of band that just likes to have fun, and is careful not to fall into any specific label or scene. Good plain fun. Or in Chad's case, bad plain fun. Check out "Down by the Bayou" below, for some good ol' southern-influenced country-hop?...or something like that."
