Deeply embedded in California's DIY scene, the The Lovely Bad Things have cultivated a devoted fan base through sharing the stage (or lack thereof) with noteworthy acts the Growlers, Abe Vigoda, the Thermals, Screaming Females, OFF!, Wavves, No Age, Crystal Antlers, and Peter, Bjorn and John. Brought together by time and fate they'd all known each other since high school, but finally made a band together in 2009 and named by some kind of esoteric computer filename error too complex to further explain, Orange County's Lovely Bad Things are the hyperactive Omni-talented and relentlessly hilarious garage-pop band who crowd funded their way to an encore performance at the world-famous Primavera Sound festival and whose new album 'The Late Great Whatever' was titled during a dream at the suggestion of their spirit guide, who happens to look strangely like Dinosaur Jr.. drummer Murph. Was that a lot to take in all at once?
