Welcome

You've reached the Bad Idea website (most likely by accident). We haven't been here that long, comparatively speaking. But we do have a variety of music you may find appealling. We've been together for quite some time and have been through a few incarnations (and maybe one incantation). We're all still friends even though we don't send cards to each other on Flag Day. We all really love writing music together. That's our thing! We always try to create something that we didn't know was already created. We almost created a song once, but we stopped because someone had already created one before. Why bother at that point. It also raised the question: Why be different? Because sometimes it's right! And that's what we do as humans:  Create! 
But that's not us.  Sorry if we've deceived you, but please don't go just yet.   If you do stick around, you may hear some stuff you like and some stuff you don't.  But either way, you'll be humming a song for at least a whole minute* after you've gone..
..

*Some independent studies have suggested 1:07 minutes.
