The Badje

From: Brighton

Influences: 1950s rock ’n’ roll, soul music, 1960s pop and psychedelia, film scores, classical and indie.

Profile: Formed in 2009, Brighton four-piece The Badje are already onto their second album, which is being released today.

Taste Music With Your Ear Tongue combines the band’s love of English alternative psychedelic indie-rock with a certain amount of glam swagger, as captured on the video to this week’s free download.

Debut album Ride Out was released in the summer of 2009, only a month after the band first got together, underlining the creative connection the band has.

Tonight’s launch will be augmented by some of Brighton’s best performers and an audio-visual show, which guitarist and singer Carlos Boellinger describes as “like a Magical Mystery Party”.
