Ivan has landed his own show on 101.1 KUFO in Portland called "Metalopolis" on every Sat. from 10pm-12 am... Way to go buddy!! We have the privilage to know another well known precussionist that plays Shows, with us, and has taken over Ivan's place, Mike "Basil" Ternyik from ( Sweaty Nipples, Supernaught, Melody Butchers & was a touring drummer for Everclear). Mike said he'd preform at least 1 show a month with us, or more if possible... and you never know Ivan might be able to do another with us someday... Tim Bliven formed Bad Gass way back in 2005, the band has had many different players. Tim Bliven, Tim Herman & Taylor Frazier are the permanent band members of this group and seems we've found another drummer in ERIC BRINKER, who will play when the others can't..... Check out the tunes Please! We have a Live rendition of LED ZEPPELIN'S "Moby Dick" that we preformed at the Ed Forman Comedy show at Dante's in Portland that was FANTASTIC! With an awesome drum solo by Ivan de Prume and Tim Bliven's Guitar Solo... The songs "Devil's Hand", "Cool Hippie Chicks", "The Past", " Soulless Vanity"& "To Heart" are on our upcoming CD to be released with Ivan de Prume of WHITE ZOMBIE fame, sometime in 2009.... Tim Bliven also has a solo site besides being the founder of BAD GASS and Songwriter. He just recently completed his solo CD "I Wanna Be President" which has the song "Forefathers", "Northern Baked", "Southern Fried" & "Let's Go" and many other tunes in that stylist juandra.... The "Forefathers" version here was timed to be 4:20 long from the first guitar strum to last word, Rock On!! ************************************************************ *****************BAD GASS is music that will make you want to dance, sing and laugh.... With a wide variety of style from Bluegrass to Heavy Metal but mostly just Raw Rock..
