TheBadSeeds are a garage / rock band formed by guitarist Allan
Jansen in the fall of 1966 at Kilgore College, in Kilgore,
Texas. Allan and college roommate and keyboardist Dennis Fehler
immediately began the search for band members. Soon, Kilgore
classmate and vocalist Larry Drennan joined Allan and Dennis and
the beginning of the band formed quickly. During most of the
fall of 1966 other Kilgore musicians auditioned but the band
didn’t jell until McGregor, Texas High School classmates Skip
Spoonts and Mike Rushing joined to play guitar and bass.
The band established their claim to fame, and
actually made money, by throwing private parties and selling
tickets in the region around Waco, Texas. In Ennis, Texas
theBadSeeds performed at Sokol Hall and in McGregor, Texas at
the Hermann Sons Hall (to name a few). The Bad Seeds
stopped performing in 1968, shortly after the Vietnam “Tet
Offensive,” when three of the band members were called to serve
their country.
After military service and college none of the
band members lived in the same area, so there was never an
opportunity to get back together. At high school class
reunions classmates encouraged theBadSeeds to perform one more
time, but it never materialized. TheBadSeeds did not resume
performing as a band until the spring of 2000 when Mike Rushing
suggested the band should throw a big bash "live" at McGregor
Hall [the old Hermann Sons Hall]. The first band reunion was so
successful there were two more to follow. The three band
reunions were titled Bad Seed Bash's [2000-2002] and featured
musicians from the area including Rufus "Moon" Mooney, and Barry
Byford.
TheBadSeeds currently play cover music by The
Kinks, The Doors, The Animals, Wilson Pickett, The Rolling
Stones, The Kingsmen, ZZ Top, Jonny Lang, Jimi Hendrix and many
more. In addition to the cover music, theBadSeeds perform some
original songs that reflect the youthful 1960’s and chronicle
the 21st century with the sounds that are uniquely Bad Seeds.
The Bad Seeds – Return is our current album that features
sixteen of the best Bad Seeds sounds.
