Artist History
Bad Boy consists of four veteran musicians who play melodic rock music with an explosive chemistry that never fails to deliver. Due to popular demand, Bad Boy has finally released a Best of Bad Boy CD compilation on Surgeland Records featuring selected songs from their previous albums Private Party, Electric Eyes and Girl On The Run, along with two newly written and recorded songs especially for this project.The current band roster is led by the multi-talented Steve Grimm - songwriter, lead vocalist, keyboardist and guitarist. Popular for his stint with Cheap Trick, top-notch vocalist Xeno adds his dimension of unique musical style to the band. Rounding out the act are the rhythm section members featuring new drummer Scott E. Berendt (Us Project) along with bassist Craig Evans, formerly with Justice and Rockerfellers, providing the perfect synchronization and pulsating beat characteristic of the melodic rock genre.Steve Grimm's songwriting talent is hailed as "outstanding" among the national music industry community and has been continually recognized. In 1992, Steve's song Turn the Key was the grand prize winner of the Songwriters of Wisconsin contest. He has also been a seven-time winner of the local Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards as well as a finalist in numerous national songwriting contests. Xeno, with his raw vocal wares, has been revered as one of the most expressive and emotional vocalists in the industry today.Bad Boy has been active in the Midwestern rock music scene for a significant number of years. Bad Boy founders Steve Grimm, John Marcelli, Joey LaVie, and Lars Hanson began their performance and songwriting careers when they were teens with the band Crossfire. Eventually, Crossfire evolved into the legendary Bad Boy. As the leader of Bad Boy in the 70's and 80's, Steve Grimm's momentum drove his team to regional success and scored a two-album recording contract with United Artists in 1977. Bad Boy also released two additional LPs, several singles and an EP on the Streetwise and Legend labels, has been inducted into the Wisconsin Area Music Industry Hall of Fame, received a WAMI nomination for "Best Album of the Year" for their "Best of Bad Boy" CD on Surgeland Records, and performs for sell-out crowds on a continuing basis.
