BIOGRAPHY: Bad Liquor Pond is a 4 piece psychedelic rock group hailing from Baltimore, Maryland. Originally formed in late 2005, the band roster currently sees Dave Gibson on Guitar/Vocals, Poridge Blackwell on Bass, Alex Strama on Guitar and Paul Fuller on Drums. In 2006 the band contributed a song to the “Turn on Your Mind” compilation released by Psilocybin Sounds in the U.K. along with other widely known psychedelic acts including The Quarter After (with members of the Brian Jonestown Massacre The Asteroid #4, etc.) Through the rest of 2006 and 2007 the band constantly played shows and worked on recording and after releasing their debut album “The Year of the Clam” in August of 2007 on Baltimore’s MT6 Records, Bad Liquor Pond embarked on a small tour of the north east coast and in the following months gained attention from local, national and international outlets. August 8th, 2008 marked the release of Bad Liquor Pond’s 2nd album “Radiant Transmission” (Morphius Records / MT6 Records). This album branched off from the drone oriented mystical vibe of the first record and follows the band further along their journey into the depths of modern psychedelic rock and roll. Bad Liquor Pond’s sophomore offering draws from even more influences, incorporating elements of rhythm and blues, garage rock, psych pop and Americana. "Radiant Transmission" was met with positive reviews and the band continued playing through 2009 in support of the record, playing with national acts such as Spectrum, Glasvegas, Spindrift, Xiu Xiu, The Lovetones, Hopewell, The Vandelles, NAAM,The Main Street Gospel, The Black Hollies, Strangers Family Band and Heavy Hands. In early 2010 Bad Liquor Pond released a limited run 7" record on MT6 Records and is currently gearing up for the release of their 3rd full length album which should be released early summer 2011.
