About Me

"bad_example" is the rock & roll outlet for a group of musicians and singers from the St. Andrew United Methodist praise band, "Two or More". Together since 2005, they have grown into a tight 6-piece combo featuring sweet vocal harmonies and solid musicianship.
"We started playing fundraisers at the church and found we just really loved playing together - working on songs that we all grew up with. So we started booking private parties and auctioning off our services for charity.
We've built a repertoire of maybe 40 or 50 songs so far (about 4 hour-long sets) and add more all the time. We tend toward classic rock, but really will work out arrangements for anything that moves us. We do everything from Beatles to Black Crowes to Eagles to Skynyrd to Tom Petty. We make an annual pilgrimage of sorts to Nashville, so clearly we have a soft spot for country, too - as long as it's guitar-driven. (Brad Paisley is The Man...) We have some amazing guitar talents with scary-good recollection - and our vocalists rock."
Look for us to play some new venues in 2008, and it goes without saying, if you are in the ATL think about us for your next party!"

Band Bio - Tim (aka "Mongo")

Being the grandson of a pretty awesome big band drummer, one would think I was a phenom....sadly, I must confess, no. Playing in high school, chants could often be heard "Where's the BEAT?" Too this ...
