Bad Bad Meow

Music – Chicago

Bad Bad Meow delivers an energetic in-the-moment performance of clever and edgy lyrics and melodic lines that you will find yourself singing along with for days after the show. They have successfully created their own unique style rooted in the traditions of country, rhythm and blues, and psychedelic rock with a punk rock swagger. Fans of The White Stripes, Violent Femmes, and the Pixies will be pleasantly surprised. Branding their sound as “Americana Punk,” Bad Bad Meow migrated from North Carolina to take the city of Chicago along for the bad bad ride. After years of playing together, singer/guitarist/evil genius Alen Khan and drummer Sarah Sydow joined up with Chicago slide guitarist Chris Ray and bassist Max Brink. They are joined regularly on stage and in the studio by a supporting cast of musicians equally as charmed with the music and enthusiastically connect with the ideology of Bad Bad Meow. Bad Bad Meow released their first full length album “Big Phat Pussycat” on vinyl and digital download. The album presents a collection of addicting, perky melodies and rhythm including “Mother Father,” “Wheel,” and “Run Through the Middle.” Its release received a spirited welcome from long time fans and serves as the perfect introduction to those not yet familiar with the band’s brand of unmistakable melodies and unrestrained fiery zeal. Big Phat Pussycat showcases the wide range of Alen’s vocals, from folkie crooning to fervent howls, and the dynamic exchange between instruments that is the pinnacle of their live shows.
