The Baddies
Sydney

The Baddies are one of the loudest live acts performing around Sydney. They have been rocking local venues for over 10 years, with their style of unashamedly 'old school' punk in sound and attitude, but played with the tightness of accomplished musicians - rare to that genre.

They seem to prefer to play support spots at gigs so they can perform while still sober and enables them to get in a few beers before the bar closes. When playing live, Paul Heyward uses a cordless radio pick up on his guitar which enables him to wander around the crowd, over to the pool tables, up to the bar and out of the pub, across the street and back up onto the stage without missing a note, while bass playing vocalist John Morris and drummer John Butler keep a driving accompaniment.

Although their live repetoir consists largely of covers of mainly British Punk classics, their debut album The Baddies Worst consists of entirely original material and an adaption of a classical piece (The Cannon by Pachabel). It plays like a concept album humouresly chronicaling a weekend in the life of The Baddies, displaying influences of reggae and experimental music, proving them to be one of the most under rated punk bands in Sydney.

The Baddies perform regularly at th Botany View Hotel in Newtown as well as various other support gigs and benefits. Watchout for The Baddies music clip "In the Mood" currently being played on Rage *ABC) and Blokesworld (Channel 31, Saturday nights).
