This weekend one of my favorite local bands, Badtude, will be playing together for the last time. The band that has rocked the Rochester area, and beyond, with original music has decided to go their separate ways. When speaking with the different band members after the announcement of the breakup they seemed at peace with their decision.
Bassist Adam Horr had this to say...
"Playing in Badtude, the six years went by fast. We have had a great time, met a lot of great people, and made some unforgettable memories. The love of music brought us all together and kept us all going. I am going to miss playing in this band. Frank and Hoagie are great guys and we will be good friends forever more." Horr finished by saying "We hope to see some of our fans at the last show to help us close out this chapter of our musical journey."
I do feel fortunate...they have agreed to play one last gig! A chance to dance to and enjoy their music, one more time. 💃🏼
