Artist History baD mR fRosTy (AKA John Peer) began as the keyboard player for the Canadian band Portrait in 1986, then played in a bunch of crap (and a couple not-so-crap) cover bands including Stages, XSNRG, Dawn Patrol, Kick, etc etc until joining the all-original hard core band Brave New World, from Vancouver. Some of you will remember the band "Yeah Whatever", and the 151 after-hours club in Vancouver.... well wake up that was fRosTy too... Soon the access to discount booze and drugs in BC forced a move back to the motherland of Nova Scotia. Here the project continues from a small boathouse on St. Margarets Bay. During the spring and summer fRosTy chills in the UK. Winter of 2002-2003, fRosTy is teaching math in Guatemala City, where the students have no idea who he is, which is just as well...

Group Members baD mR fRosTy is a solo artist with the occasional guest. When not immersed in this solo effort, he is the keyboard player for Canadian Indie band Sweet Tooth.

Press Reviews "Peer's music is enchanting, magical, beguiling, dreamlike and best of all resonates within the heart, this is an artist who has the desire to share his collective musical consciousness with the world. His first solo project BadMrFrosty, is one that bears an alternative edge." ... Jessica Gihon, Columnist Cosmic Debris Magazine http://www.cvnet.net/cosmic "I thought it lended itself to 'picture'... Some of his stuff had a filmic quality, while some melodies really captured that 'Atlantic N.S.Culture' in a fresh, modern way. His Bass sure came through on my studio speakers - HUGE! ... Preston Ryback, Composer/Producer Chez Prez Studios Vancouver, BC ....After we cranked fRosty's new tune "Reruns", my cat shit hisself, and wouldn't use the litter box for a week!.... name withheld--------what is that odd noise? is that singing? hmmmmm what's with all the little red lights?- overheard at the New Year's eve show.
