Bad Examples started singing at Recluse, a local club. The group begged the local radio station to play their track. Bad Examples began playing together while they were in middle school. The lead singer used to annoy his grandmother by playing his favorite music at all hours of the night.

Bad Examples plans to spend some time apart after this next tour, allowing the band members to rest. The band just completed their newest album, and they are plotting their next move already. The latest album from Bad Examples has been heavily influenced by blues artists of the past.

Often times, critics have praised Bad Examples for their playfulness with the audience at live performances. Otis Emerson, a music critic from Champaign, has always pointed out band’s terrific rhythms. Bad Examples’s latest project has received positive praise from Henry Vanderhoff, a music critic out of Kansas City, and Rick Gitlewski, from Oklahoma City.

Bad Examples were happy to get the record deal, but were not sure how far they would go. The release of their first album convinced them that they were right where they should be after their songs began to get lots of radio play. The group members were glad once they were signed and quit their odd jobs that had supported them while they worked toward their dreams.

Bad Examples realized that they were real working musicians as soon as Virginia O'Toole started the first fan club for the group in 1985. The fan club quickly grew from a few dozen in Denver to a few thousand from California to New York.

The band is sure to schedule a performance at Overtone in Sacramento every time they tour because they used to play there all the time before they made it big. Bad Examples’s tickets for their latest tour are on sale on TheSeats.com, along with the schedule of all the band’s concerts.
