Bad Move

Straight outta Portland! Started on April 1st 2006, just some friends making noise in Gordon's shop in SE Portland. Some of them had played for years, some were just learning to play, but all down for partying, going to shows, playing loud, and getting out of hand! Things started off unconventionally, with relentless instrument switching, 2 drummers(one on the infamous junkkit), and songs that ranged from rockabilly to metal to electronica, to you name it. The line-up has changed many times; from a six-piece to a four-piece to a five-piece and now to a four-piece. The only original members are: Drew Westergren(Burning Cindys, Ghost Motor, Blxmth) on guitar and Jason Wyatt Todd(Blue 5, Ghost Motor, Strangle The Priest) on vocals, sax, harp, etc. Current line-up includes: Cory Hartze(Steak Knife!) on drums, and Josh Ketterer(Die Robot, Ugly Machine, O.Z. Willis) on bass & vocals. Bad Move has had the pleasure to share the stage with many amazing bands from Portland and parts unknown.
