about

A window into a seminal group at the height of their powers.

Here's Bad Livers recorded live on-air on WORT radio in Madison WI, 10/28/98. Playing tunes from their latest release at the time "Industry and Thrift," the boys are let loose in the studio to play and interview each other. It's a unique opportunity to gain insight to their motivations and context to their music and songs. Fans of the band and Danny Barnes should be fascinated by the peek behind the curtain.

The Bad Livers were an American band from Austin, Texas, formed in 1990 by Danny Barnes and Mark Rubin, whose inventive musical style defied attempts to categorize them according to existing genres. Their influences included bluegrass, folk, punk, and other musical styles.

Bad Livers music has often been cited for its influence on other groups creating what The Austin Chronicle described as "an impressive legacy". The Stranger credited them with "revitalizing roots music", and, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, "The Bad Livers helped open the way for old-time and bluegrass bands of today".
