The Badje are an English alternative, psychedelic-indie rock band that formed in 2009. The band's second album, “Taste Music With Your Ear Tongue” is due for release on 3rd June 2011.

Since they formed in January 2009, the Brighton ensemble all share one common aspiration: to make music that matters and combines the unique individuality of all four members…without taking themselves too seriously. The Badje consists of four loyal friends: Rob Dunkley (vocals, rhythm guitar), Carlos Boellinger (lead guitar, vocals), Xinxi (vocals, bass) and Dame Tanham (drums, vocals).

The band has drawn similarities as wide-ranging as The Beatles and The Pretty Things to more current groups such as Kasabian and The Gorillaz. Distinctive and harmoniously obscure, they describe their influences as eclectic as ‘50s rock 'n' roll, soul music, '60s pop & psychedelia, film scores, classical & indie!

The Badje released their debut album "Ride Out" in the Summer of 2009…only one month after meeting! Since then they have played numerous gigs in and around the UK. On Friday 3rd June 2011 the bands’ second album, "Taste Music With Your Ear Tongue” will be unleashed on the unsuspecting ears of their hometown fans of Brighton, UK. The Badje (supported by an astronomical cast of Brighton’s best performers) will host a lavish launch party at Brighton’s newest venue the Green Door Store.

The album will be available to purchase online here and from Rounder Records (www.rounderbrighton.co.uk) & Resident (www.resident-music.com).

A final word from The Badje:

“Here they come at last-like field marshals, bathing in a summer’s morning, amongst the other bandly-legs and discadee-jocks, playing you their souls...”

2012 is set to be yet another very exciting and busy year for The Badje…

***We hope to see you at the Album Launch party on Friday 3rd June, Green Door Store, Brighton.***
