In the summer of 2014, the band has been propelled to worldwide notoriety thanks to YouTube video covers of AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” and Iron Maiden’s “The Trooper” that have gone viral. There’s something about rocking out on accordion, mandolin, acoustic guitar, upright bass and spoons that really works. Three Times Bad Jesus Angel (geetar, banjo, vox) - Doubting Thomas (mandolin, vox) - St. Jean-Pierre (French Gypsy fiddle, vox) - St. Claire (American Heartland fiddle, vox) - Cousin Casey (singer-stomper-dancer) - St. Megan (upright bass, vox) -from San Francisco/Oakland, CA -THREE TIMES BAD is “a hot new string band born from the soundtrack to the critically acclaimed, transmedia novel badbadbad” (Hood River News) by group leader Jesus Angel Garcia. Based in Oakland and San Francisco, California, THREE TIMES BAD plays “dirty American roots music” (The Register-Guard) that’s both genre-defying and inclusive. THREE TIMES BAD is nothing if not hard to pin down. Recognizing “a hint of ‘vaudeville’” in the group’s sound, Morrison says, “They are certainly not a bluegrass band,” while Music Junkie Press believes the combo is “breathing fresh new life into American bluegrass… with a variety of musical influences such as hillbilly swing, outlaw country, Gypsy jazz, honkytonk, folk songs, and much more… bring[ing] back that nostalgic feel for a time where music held a common thread that cemented friendships and bonds were forged.” The Good Men Project simply states: “This is Americana music, the kind borne of community. It’s real…. Their lyrics also carry the kind of weight you’d expect of reflective singer/songwriter music, and while they’ve got sit-by-the-fire humor, songs like ‘No More, No Less’ come out, and the words make you realize that you need to go back and listen to everything a little more carefully.” Grooming Standard from San Francisco, CA- -alternative mustache rock! |
