Posted: October 8, 2008 BAD KARMA is Pleased to announce that Scott Card is our new drummer. Scott is a local area survivor and will be a great addition to the Bad Karma mix. Scott's experience with his former band, Ten Year Vamp is exactly what we've been looking for. Scott will also be adding a new vocal dimension to the mix, and will be taking on some lead vocals on some songs….
Stay tuned… the best is yet to come…… Posted: September 12, 2008 Just to let everyone know that BAD KARMA is alive and doing well even if we aren't playing out as much as we have been in the past. We have some MAJOR changes coming up this month, so be sure to stay in touch... Is that a teaser or what?? Truth is after over 4 years with the band we are sad to announce that our very own Mike Craig has decided to step down from the drumming duties for Bad Karma. I know its a shock! But Mike has made it clear to us that he just doesn't feel like playing the drums any more. Also he is taking on some additional duties in his Masonic Lodge (Imperial Grand Wizard or something like that) LOL ! ;) . We totally respect Mike's decision, and wish him the very best. He is and will always be a member of Bad Karma, and has brought many things to the band over the past 4+ years.... bringing FUN back to the band was a major part of it. MIKE WE'LL MISS YA - BROTHER ! ! ! ! ! Stay Tuned to the website and Myspace for more updates. Don't forget we will be at Jan's Roadhouse on Sept. 20th - Rt. 50 in Glenville/Burnt Hills area. This is where Mike Craig will say his goodbye. We are currently looking for a new drummer, and will be holding auditions soon. If interested please contact Dave or John to set up a date and time. (Phone numbers are to the left) ROCK ON ! ! ! Posted: May 1, 2008 Hey all .. THIS Friday, we'll be at Hotshots for our Happy Hour Party from 7-11pm.

Thanks to those in attendance at The Skyline last Friday night. Personally, a special "thanks" to Strummin' Bill Foley for helping me out setting up and breakin' down the drum kit. Of course I took care of him earlier at the bar, and what more can you say GOOD about a guy who delivers you a shot of "Jack" mid-song !! Thanks Billy, you rock man, and lookin' forward to seeing you again at a BK gig soon, bro !! We took some photos at the Skyline Click the PHOTOS button on the left.. Yup, that's right, the "Shots...." tour kept itself alive last weekend in Albany, and NOW it's headin NORTH for a special start time. THIS Friday, February 15th, Bad Karma will again be playing for the Happy Hour crowd (7pm start-time) at HotShots in Glens Falls. Now, if there's EVER a place to kick the " Shots drank around the world" tour up a bit, it WOULD be at a Happy Hour show at a place named "HOTSHOTS" !! ( Look at us, we're looking for justifiable reasons to do shots !!) Pathetic !!! Hope to see ya this Friday in Glens Falls. I'll update you all again next week, as we have a Friday/Saturday the following weekend. One in Amsterdam, and the next night in Watervliet. Stayed tunes for times/locations, or check out the Shows section of our website. Til then, keep the Jager cold for us !! Peace MC Bad Karma Posted: February 7, 2008 REMINDER !!! THIS FRIDAY !! It's been a LONG time coming !!
Posted: February 4, 2008 What IS up !!!!! When we last left you all, we were heading out to Amsterdam for a gig at Tony's Tavern. First show there in almost 3 yrs and it seemed like people missed us, as there was a lot of dancin', screamin' and shakin', and that was just the band !!! You guys/gals rocked out there and we loved seeing all the gals dancing around and the guys raising their fists !! We'll be back to see you all in a few weeks.. Now......... Back to the future.. After a couple well deserved weeks off from the club scene, Bad Karma is back and re-charged for a rock n roll ride at a "first-time' venue for us. This Friday, February 8th, The "Shots Done Around The World" tour hits downtown Albany at The SkyLine ( Sheridan Ave - Right around the corner from The Pure / The Bayou / Jillian's, etc ). If you've been to any of our shows lately, you know WHY we've dubbed the tour by its rightful name !!!!! This place has recently become the rock n roll place to be, so who better than us to really bring it up to our level of insanity.. There's a lot of buzz going on at the Skyline, so do you're best to stop down and rock it hard with us. We'll hope to have the cameras out in full force to get some updated shots of you, the crazies, on our website. We've got a busy February, so check out our calender to see were we'll be in upcoming weeks.. We wish you could all be at "every" show, but we know it's not possible, so make any/all that you can. We appreciate it !!! That's all for now. See ya's all soon !! Posted: January 19, 2008 ....WHAT A NIGHT.... We want to thank everyone who made it out to Tony's Tavern last night... what a crowd. YOU GUYS ROCK.. I have to say it was a pleasure to see all the new faces and your reaction is what makes a show. We hope to see you again next month on the 22nd.. we can't wait to return... Our next show is Feb 8th at the Skyline Lounge in Albany. This is our first time at The Skyline and we can't wait to attack Albany. This will be a take no prisoner type a night... I definate plan to party my ass off and we will be traveling with our "SHOTS AROUND THE WORLD". If you are unfamular with this we do shots from all around the world.. We normally start in Germany with Jager, move to the USA and visit Tennessee and Kentucky... By the end of our journey you won't remember a thing.. so bring a designated driver... I will... See you then... JD
Posted: January 16, 2008 OK, we're not going THAT far, but THIS Friday, January 18th, we will be back in Amsterdam at Tony's Tavern. It's almost 3 years to the day that I played my first live show with Bad Karma and it was at Tony's. (Damn, have we come along way since then !!)
