  After Wintersun - moving to Queensland!

Wintersun was awesome for the Badcats for more than just the buzz of being there; more than just the beautiful sunshine and the surf and lazy days spent by the pool; through Wintersun Brandi and the Badcats met Cliff from Skyhigh Entertainment and together they are putting together "Brandi and the Badcats presents Suzi Quatro tribute show".

   Wintersun!

Wintersun was bigger than ever before this year with 100,000 people gathering together for fun in the winter sun. There were bands on almost every street corner, and people from everywhere enjoying the beautiful weather and fantastic entertainment, and that included us. MORE

 

   Joe from the Sure-Shots

When the Sure-Shots came to Melbourne for one gig at the Corner Hotel half of the Badcats (Reno and Brandi) decided to go see them.
They were certainly worth the effort (the night was freezing); what a band!
But more than that their lead guitarist looked familiar; racking their brains they finally realized that they met him in Japan when he was in a band called the Alabama Skittles, they actually played at the same night club together (the Wishbone Club) in Osaka for three months. What a small world!!

 

   Jailhouse Rock n Roll Festival, Ararat

Ararat Rnr Festival 2005 was so much fun! Thanks to Bernadine and the members of the committee for all their efforts. We know there is mountains of work that goes on behind the scenes, and anyone who goes to the trouble of being involved deserves a medal. MORE

   Steve Williams on sax


The awesome Steve Williams, known to most people as the tall sax player in John Farnhams band, is the man who has provided the sax on "Mamma Rock", the debut C.D. by Brandi and the Badcats that is finished at last, and has appeared with them on their two most recent gigs, at Dandenong R.S.L. on 14th August, and Kingston (Moorrabbin) Town Hall on 21st August. He has agreed to be a "Badcat" whenever his commitments with John Farnham will allow.

 

   Update

Thanks Yvonne of Cheyenne promotions for a great night on May the 8th. If you weren’t there you missed out. Unfortunately the night coincided with the VRRDA competitions and many of Yvonne's regulars were committed to go to that, but Yvonne said she will definitely have us back again next year.

 

LINE UP CHANGE
A band is only as good as its rhythm section and that is why it is sooo good to be playing with the legendry Harold Frith founding member of The Thunderbirds. MORE
