Bad Influence Sweden
Bad Influence is one of Scandinavia's most appreciated and touring live acts. They have played for over 15 years at Sweden's largest after-beach/skis and has had their own shows at legendary live scenes as Hamburger Börs and Aladdin in Stockholm Sweden. Last year Bad Influence started to conquer Denmark and Finland at places like Damhus Kroen in Copenhagen and Apollo Live club in Helsinki with huge success! Bad Influence has been rated as a five star (wasps) act by Swedens largest tabloid Expressen. Something that's never happened to any other coverband in Sweden! Bad Influence, with the incredibly charismatic lead vocalist Fredrik "Fritz" Wallin as a front, makes a spectacular stage-show consisting of hits from the 70's,80's, 90's as well as today's hit music. Always with an extreme energy and the ability to make "the best party ever" out of any situation regardless what type of audience they're facing. Experience Bad Influence, probably the best liveband in the world! Find more info at: www.badinfluence.nu
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Bad Influence was formed in 1993 by an assembly of party-willing proletarians raised in Sweden. They took the name to show their aim to make every audience behave like maniacs. Word of Bad Influence’s blend of party and music spread like wildfire. The band's first album, ”Live”, built on the grounds created by the band's live reputation, showed five young lads dedicated to make high energy versions of hits from the past. Continuously touring Sweden, the album also introduced the band to Austria where several successful tours were made. As Bad Influence's second album, ”Live at Hamburger Börs”, was released, the band was having their own ”Midnight show” at Sweden’s no 1 live scene ”Hamburger Börs”, performing to crowds of 1,000 to 2,000 people every night. During the summer of 2001 Bad Influence was awarded ”Best live band this summer” by ”Expressen”, for their outdoor shows at Visby, Gotland. The band’s latest album ”Life is Live” was released in 2008 and immediately entered several charts across Europe. Later on the same year, the single ”Tarzan Boy” was released in collaboration with dance star ”Dyce” and reached top 10 at the charts. In 2009 Bad Influence continues to tour drawing full houses at venues all across Scandinavia.
