bad jamie

After years of playing together in different incarnations during high school (leading to a Boston Music Award for singer Johnny Modern and his band "Lux"), Johnny, Jeffrey, Jonathan and Nate picked up and left for the city that never sleeps. Under the guise of various titles and genres, the earliest works of Bad Jamie were born in New York in 2002. Not right for this world, however, the band made their move to where the scene was fresh and the air was clean. Well-written, danceable rock music was alive and well in Australia and Bad Jamie felt right at home. Determined to make their own mark, the band organized performances where they felt most comfortable, playing to small over-crowded parties, packed and confused take-away restaurants, commuter rail train carriages, dodgy hotels, and midnight shows atop city buildings. Bad Jamie were Boston finalists in the Emergenza International Music Festival, with consecutive sold out shows at The Paradise and Avalon in Boston, MA. Coming off an opening slot with Def Leppard and Journey at the Tweeter Center in Mansfield, MA, the band showcased at this year’s NEMO Music Festival. With their first CD under their belts and their second in the works, Bad Jamie can be found around the US playing clubs, stadiums, and house parties.
