Bad Actress

Bad Actress and The Wicked Jackals join forces in Bannermans, Edinburgh. Long before BAD ACTRESS burst on to their local music scene in 2018, each of the members had been clocking up performing, writing and recording experience with different bands of different styles and influences. In bringing all this together they quickly established an extensive catalogue of solid original material, rooted in ‘good time’ blues and hard rock and written to impress. They use each and every one of their live performances to showcase this material and soon bagged a few awards for their efforts. Since then, they have been delighting crowds wherever they go. They’ve supported top acts such as Gun, Electric Boys and Hardline, and completed two UK tours supporting Marco Mendoza (Whitesnake, Dead Daisies, Journey). They’ve played festivals and headline shows the length and breadth of the UK, including headlining the second stage at the Hard Rock Hell Sleaze Fest 2022 in the Sheffield O2. BAD ACTRESS is on a mission to be part of the reason people keep going to see live rock shows. 'The Wicked Jackals' are a Watford based hard rock band formed in early 2013 by frontman/guitarist Ollie Tindall and drummer James Norkett after a chance encounter outside a local nightclub. A short search and an hours drive later, they welcomed Lex Gifford aboard. Many years passed playing live with a couple members coming and going before they discovered Greek magnifique Rex Orfanidis.
