Great experience they were professional and sounded great. Much better than the videos I watched on Gig Salad or online. Would definitely hire them again! Thanks guys!
Response from Bad PR:
Thanks! We had a great time playing for your Oktoberfest event and really enjoyed the crowd. The staff was great and took care of everything we needed. Thanks for being easy to work with! Would love to play for you all again soon!
I was skeptical booking a band with no reviews. Let me just say this. Their videos as previews do not do justice to just how good these guys are. Music was clean and crisp! Everyone loved the music and how wonder they treated everyone. I would recommend this band to anyone and have no concerns if they would meet your expectations. I will definitely book them again in the future!!
Response from Bad PR:
Randall, thank you so much for the review and for booking us for your party! It was an honor to play for your family and friends. Everyone was so friendly and we had such a fun time performing for you all. We look forward to playing again for you some day real soon!

Prior to your event, we will have a band member meet with you (or phone call) to discuss details.
We typically will need to arrive 1.5 to 2 hours ahead of our start time to load in gear and set up. And then, we typically need about 1 hour to tear down the gear and load out.
We can keep the volume at zero during basic setup and will need to run a sound check around 15 minutes ahead of time. (For situations where this is not ideal, we can arrange to set up and sound check prior to the start of your event so that we can just "show up and play" at our scheduled time. This can be worked out as needed)
Will typically play 3-hour or 4-hour shows with two breaks. We can play Spotify during our breaks and can include requests if available on Spotify.
Bad PR is a premier cover band based out of the Raleigh, NC area. With a song list centered around the 80s and 90s rock that also includes a variety of pop, dance, punk, and country tunes from the 70s to today, there’s a little something for everyone. Whether playing at a local bar, festival, corporate event, or a backyard party, we approach every event with the same professionalism and passion bringing a high-energy show to every performance.
We need a minimum of two electrical outlets, one on each side of the stage/performance area. If not available, please be prepared to supply heavy-duty extension cords with drops on either side of the stage.
