BARRY met Dave <lead guitar> at Lafayette College
over twenty years ago, where they bonded over a common
fondness for easy classes, Kaopectate binges, and,
occasionally, music. Before joining Bad Reputation, ‘the Bomber’ honed his
stage craft playing in several successful Bay Area bands,
most notably Electric Phase, Corporate Bitch and Go Inside. Fans will be
glad to hear Barry has bounced back 100% from last year’s
tragic petting zoo accident, and is ready to rock the Bay
Area once again! “Rock and roll is my religion and my law…” Back to top |

STEVE brings nearly two decades of musical
experiences to the Bad Reputation family. Sadly, most of those are
traumatic experiences requiring years of therapy, for which
Steve still shoplifts to pay off the creditors. In addition
to covering the rhythm and harmony lead guitar parts of classic
Thin Lizzy tunes on his trusty Les Paul (of dubious origin), Steve
writes and records "acoustic rock and roll™", and enjoys
performing classic Willie Nelson and Kris Kristopherson
songs on seedier street corners around San Francisco. Steve
is also proud of his work participating in medical
experiments, for which he donates all his profits to charity. Back to top |

ALAN, as with all lead singers, started his career by
singing in the shower. After almost drowning, he decided
maybe he should try singing somewhere else. Alan's first
band, Zebra Pulse, was a punk outfit which is code for "we
can't play our instruments". Alan's first real gig was the
Ratskeller in Boston at the ripe old age of 15. Next on the
list was NiteLife a Boston based Thin Lizzy cover band. In
the late 80's early 90's Alan switched to the promotion side
running DarkStar Cafe a venue for new artists in the
Rochester NY area. After many trial and tribulations Alan
ended up in the Bay Area. After procrastinating for several
years he decided "maybe I can still sing" and took Dave up
on an offer to jam with the boys. And the rest as they say
is history. Back to top |
