Yes, we did it again. Jeff and Steve
from B-DAB with some help from Uncle Fingers and Heather have come up with
this year's Pistons Playoff Run jingle. Click the above link to check it
out, and show your support for the Amazing Detroit Pistons!!!

Through some bizarre twist of fate,
BDAB has advanced to the Emergenza semi-finals!!!! We will need your
support more than ever for this round as only one (1) band from each night
will advance to the Detroit finals. We will not find out our night for two
weeks, but we will keep you informed with any updates as soon as we have
them. Once again - thanks for your
support!!

We hope you all have
enjoyed our new song, 'Radio', currently exclusive to our myspace page:
http://www.myspace.com/bdab
New songs are in the
works for a whole new album, and some killer shows are in the works for
2006. Check back often for updates.

Thanks to everyone who came out and
helped advance BDAB to the second round of the Emergenza Battle of the
Bands. The competition was fierce, but we got to see and hang out with a
bunch of really cool bands and friends. Our next Emergenza show is in
March of 2006, so we will keep you informed as the world turns.
Thanks to some fortuitous opportunities, BDAB is back in the recording
studio cutting a couple of new tracks for your aural enjoyment. Look for
rough mixes by the end of this week, and as always - thanks for rockin'
with the 'Dab.

Hard to believe it is close to the
one year anniversary of our 'Mark of the Bead' album. We have almost
enough songs for another full-length album, and the ideas keep coming.
Hope you join us for some of our upcoming Halloween shows, and look for a
new line of BDAB wearables coming soon. Join our mailing list for sneak
previews of some new dab tracks soon to come.
Also, I can unofficially announce that BDAB will be taking part in the
upcoming Emergenza battle of the bands. It doesn't start for a few months
yet, so I will post updates here and on our aforementioned mailing list.
6/7/05
New shows! Also added pictures from
the Emerald Theatre show. Thanks to everyone who came out to support us at
the Emerald Theatre, and at Alvins the next day. Both shows had really
good turnouts, and the Alvins benefit for Jeff Hardin turned out to be
incredible with lots of great music, food and drinks - all for a worthy
cause. Look at our pics and
gigs pages for the updates.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Hayloft to help us give Biff Rose a
warm Detroit / Mt. Clemens welcome. Don Benson Sr. and Uncle Fingers also
joined us on stage to help rock da house. Look for upcoming shows at the
US12 in Wayne and huge show at the Emerald Theatre in Mt. Clemens to kick
off the summer a little early!

Join BDAB this Friday as we welcome back New Orleans' own Biff Rose to
good ole' Mt. Clemens at the Hayloft Liquor Stand on 4/29/05 with very
special guests Influx, Damn Reality, and Detroit Crunkstar. Don't miss this chance
to rub elbows with this cultural cult Icon as we figure out how to blend folk &
hip-hop into a new sound called fence-hop. And if you're a nice girl, you
just might be in for a good face painting. Check out
biffrose.com for the
nitty, but don't say I didn't warn ya.

Thanks to all who got wasted with us at Small's last Thursday with
Atlas-7!
We're now working on some new original tracks to introduce on our upcoming
"Number of the Bead" E.P. All I can say so far is that the songs are a
little heavier, more technical, and genre-bending as usual. Be sure to
sign up for our mailing list (if you haven't already) for sneak peeks and
the straight dope from the dab.

Just got back from the studio with the finished version of
our new three song teaser, Nature of the Bead! While we're trying to figure out
what to do with it, you can
download
the radio-friendly version of
TJTBK,
the first single. We had another great turnout at Pub1281 - it's great to see
all the new faces! Those who came out got to see another great set by
Atlas-7
as well as our first complete re-enactment of
TJTBK
thanks to our girl Heather and
Atlas-7's
Mike D. We also had the gumption to try out our newest song (so new it doesn't
have a name or real lyrics yet), and thankfully we made it through without too
many cuts and bruises. Special thanks to Jesse (pictured below *getting it* from
Swayze) for all the help lately with promotion!!!
1/24/05
Thanks to everyone who came out to rock with us at the Hayloft last Friday. We
hope you all enjoyed your complimentary TJTBK care package.
Atlas-7 kicked ass as usual, and the other bands were great as well.
To our surprise and utter amazement, we were visited by none other than Patrick
Swayze! He was cool as hell as he posed for pictures and bought us free drinks
all night long. Be sure to check out all of the Swayze shots on our
PICS page.

TJTBK has been successfully delivered to the
Howard Stern show. Call
him at 1-800-44-STERN (800-447-8376) to request "Tongue
Jack That Balloon Knot" by B-DAB.
The line will probably be busy, but keep trying and you will get through!
We have one more session in the studio this Friday to finish up the remaining tracks of our 2005 sampler. Be afraid.
Speaking of being afraid, I don't think Cincinnati was ready for us. The only song that went over well was our parody of Outkast's "Hey-Ya" which we call "Yee-Haw". Our country-fried version started out as a time-killer whilst Don Knots was fixing a gee-tar string, and soon turned into a toe-tappin country jig that garnered more than one toothless grin from the gaggle of goose-necked galoots. Get your groove on, granny!

Thanks to everyone who braved the weather to join us at the Hayloft on 11/24
and at the Corktown on 11/27.
BDAB is returning to the studio on 12/3 to record a special new track entitled:
"Tongue Jack That
Balloon Knot".
We will release this track as a special single which will be a precursor to the
upcoming BDAB album: "Nature of the Bead".
Stay tuned for details!

It has been a busy summer for bdab. Jobbie Nooner 2004 was a blast. Thanks to
everyone for rocking out with us on the Island. Look for the pics and video here
soon...

Yes, the rumors are true. We are wrapping up our first full-length album and
live dvd video. We hope to have a final product before summer officially ends,
along with a new bdab clothing line and series of self-help books for the blind.
That's all for now...

Well, we did it. We successfully made it down to New Orleans, played 2 kickass
shows right in the middle of Mardi Gras, and made it back alive. I've just
posted the first round of pictures taken by my digital camera, and there will be
lots more to follow. We would like to say thanks to the frat guys at LSU for
hooking us up through their generator and sharing their vast amounts of alcohol
with us! Can't wait to do it again next year...
Also I'd like to extend a HUGE middle finger to the foreigner who tried to use
our photoalbum picture uploading feature as their personal porno server. Nice
try jackass!
Check out his/her website
here and make
sure to tell them we said "Hi!"

BDAB had the distinct pleasure of sharing the stage with an amazing band called
'You' last weekend. If you weren't there - you missed out, but we're going to
give you many chances to see them in the near future. In the meantime, check out
their website @ http://www.youband.com -
plus I'll also mention that we're planning a huge show at the Emerald
Theatre sometime in January so be on the lookout for that!

Just got back from Jobbienooner (J2) and decided to upload some
pics before I pass out. Find them here!
Special thanks to Kev for letting us use his boat, thanks to b.dab
pit crew who helped lug equipment through water, and X-TRA SPECIAL THANX TO
DJ DREW for helping out in too many ways - especially for arranging all
of the slippery nipple contests!! Also, if anybody got some cool b.dab photos or
videos, please email us
with info on how we may obtain copies - thanks!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's right, I changed colors on ya! Uploaded some new pics as well.
Plus, I finally put some lyrics up on our blips page. En - joy!

Guess since this is our "NEWS" page, I should probably post some recent news...
We would like to thank WRIF and everybody else who came out to our Hayloft show.
(Even if you didn't come to see BDAB, we still got 1/16th of your money -so
thanks anyways!)
It was a blast and a huge success and all of the other bands were cool as well.
Plus, it was awesome to see a lot of other local bands come out to support us.
I have a lot of faith in the Mt. Clemens area music scene, and I see a lot of
talented
bands getting good crowd draws and label attention. I hope we can all continue
to support each other - trading shows and sharing fans and such. }:->

Thanks to everyone who came out to see us at the Hayloft last night. I apologize
for the strippers (that got way out of control!)... By the way, would the guy
who videotaped it please email us so we can get a copy...
