Badvibes

The Badvibes are a rock'n'roll/blues power trio from Chicago. Formed at the infamous 657 Lake Street Loft on the west side of Chicago in 2003, the Badvibes are three guys from three different places, but with one giant itch to scratch. The Rock Itch!
Fleetwood Fontane, guitar/vocals, brings the blues influence of Albert King and the lyrical sensitivity of Steely Dan to the table. His guitar solos are something of a legend in some parts of the country, and even illegal in Utah! His lyrics are about towed cars, women from L.A., gypsies, and whiskey.
"Peachfuzz" Mason, named so because he still can't grow facial hair, is the band's super-solid "non-musician" bass player who, ironically enough, leads an off-the-cuff Hip-Hop group called the Champagne Brothers when not playing with the Badvibes. He has a tattoo of the words "Skinny For Life" across his stomach. 'Nuff said.
Eccentric and spastic drummer Jackie Webster is actually a wailing guitar player that fooled everyone in the band into thinking he's a drummer and in the process, became a drummer. He's come a long way since learning to play on the pots and pans, and that was just last year! His influences include Keith Moon, Jerry Springer, Judge Mathis, and his mom.
Combine these electric personalities with years of performing live, deep musical influences, and rock solid musicianship and KA-BOOM - a very memorable show, indeed...
Somewhere between the rawness of Wolfmother, the power of Queens of the Stone Age, and the swagger of the Stones, are the Badvibes. Put your hands together and stomp your feet!
