Some say that Badminton was born in a cold and hazy afternoon when the ghost of Gram Parsons came to town to have dinner with the band members. Since that day it was clear to them that they had to be playing rock..n..roll in a band. And ever since that day people look for them everywhere but they don..t seem to be found. It..s a mystery to all why these well-hung, good-looking and skilled guys drift like ghosts through the days.
But the fact is that the band was born to perform a bunch of songs that singer-songwriter Felipe Vieira had written throughout the years. Longtime pals Zé Guilherme (bass), André Édipo (guitars) and Gerardo Lopes (drums) showed up for the task and so the legend began...
Their debut album "Petroliana" (2000) is a ground-breaking experience in underground rock and sold over...well...200 copies if I..m not wrong. Since that year they..ve been desperatly trying to finish their second (and surprisingly named "II") album. People say that they can no longer talk to Parsons ghost, which is the reason why the record is stuck in a lost studio.
All the while they discovered this MySpace stuff and managed to put some songs from the "II" album in there, along with some of Petroliana hits.
