Bio
Bedlam. The word itself dates back to mid-17th century England, and is used to describe actions of " complete and utter chaos, or disorder." This modern rock foursome from South East Wisconsin carries a demeanor that is nothing of the sort! Combining elements of both hard rock, and modern melody... Bedlam has become the breath of dirty air that fans of all ages have been clamoring for!
Rikki Storbeck(vocals), Troy Valiquette(guitar/vocals), and Jack Jasperson(drums) hail from the Racine area, and have been playing together since the early 90's when the band existed under the names Paradise and Pleasure of Pain. With the addition of Brad Fisher(bass) in 2002 the band quickly came to be a major draw on the Milwaukee club scene. Bedlam's infamous stage show and in your face style, forged a connection with an evergrowing and extremely loyal fan base. Playing major venues such as The Brat Stop, Kelly's Bleachers 2, Rooters, and The Rave/ Eagles Ballroom have given the band time to hone their explosive energy and prove they are positively in their element on stage!
Early 2007 took the band back into the studio to record the full length e.p. Pretty Ugly. Bedlam's efforts were noticed immediately, when they were chosen by the listeners of 95.1 WIIL to open for Godsmack. Soon after they were hand selected by Beloit Riverfest to open for Saliva and Crossfade. Later in the year the band opened for Chevelle at The Rave, and was the only band selected to open for Brett Michaels on his Milwaukee tour stop. Radio ready tracks such as "Ugly", " Pretty Side", " Monster", "Spit Me Out", " Talkin to Me", and " Torn and Tattered" are based on memorable lyrics, emotionally crafted hooks, and pure aggression. The Midwest is in dire need of a party band with a rock edge, and Bedlam is here to provide!!
