Badflower is something the world needed..

Their stage presence, instrumentals, and vocals, is next to none. They’re legendary and have a permanent fan in me.

That was a freaking fantastic performance. This crowd is so dead here. Seriously, that deserved way more appreciation than it got from the crowd. Amazing band, incredible talent, very infectious energy, the works. They deserve better audiences to appreciate that.

[@tertyjones7583]

Ive seen theme twice and they are so energetic love the music!!!!!!

[@kylefarr3655]

Most crowds are dead till the headliner takes the stage. I believe they were opening for Shinedown here. But yeah when I saw them back in July when they were on tour with Shinedown I was thoroughly impressed.

[@matthijsverburg6578]

Candace Garrett Couldn’t agree more, these guys are amazing! Love this show, and would love to see them myself if they’d play again in the Netherlands soon

[@noahhess4955]

That’s a good way to put it. I’m laying here in bed and they still make me dance haha

[@melly1974]

[@wadehustad9447]

Dude their drummer is seriously good! I had no idea until I saw them live.

[@andwilsaw]

dude, he's crazy. but in a way that non-drummers wouldn't really recognize, sure the times he flashes and shows off are well done, but the just regular pocket and grooves are really well done too. lots of the songs have left foot grooves that most basement rock drummers like myself couldn't pull off. the drum break in x ana x is well constructed, compliments the song, doesn't overstay it's welcome. he's great. don't even get me started on josh.

[@andrewbryton2936]

You got really low expectations if that's really good to you I was thinking it was decent at best I could drum like that bud and that ain't even my main instrument 👍

[@wadehustad9447]

This band needs way more marketing...They are something out of this world...I found them thx to spotify and now is one of my favorites bands...hope one day in the future they can come to Argentina

[@tatedewey9705]

The energy on stage is amazing, their music holds meaning and tells a story and sounds better than any of their records

[@bwarholak]

I saw them open for The Struts in 2018 in Norfolk Va and have been hooked ever since!

[@nicih3881]

I really miss live concerts :-( but seeing this makes it less painful, so thanks for sharing!

[@Emma-yw2nv]

This is fantastic & I’d love to see them in concert!!

[@natennaomisullivan6667]

I can't wait to see them next month in Orlando at the Social.. I'm super stoked!! I love them!!! They are truly amazing 😍❣️.. I wish I could meet them and get autographs they r going to become super famous more then ever very soon!!!! #dontknow whatyourmissing

[@nottoday3440]

Nate Sullivan they are already huge!

[@rockersbymyside]

I won tickets last year to watch them perform in a small bar(better and louder crowd than herewith way less people) and knew their potential and got my tickets signed by joey the lead guitarist and alex the bassist unfortunately i couldn't catch up with josh or Anthony but alex and joey were real chill guys despite needing to hury to get on the road for their next show they took the time to talk with someone who appreciated them and relates to all their songs for a minute as well. This is what made them even more of one of my favorite bands now because their not your typical cocky asshole rockstar's and i hope they stay true to who they are the bigger i know their going to get.

[@tertyjones7583]

I seen theme at earth day birthday and the Social Club love the music Dead poet society was ok Weather was better but Badflower brought down the house!!!!!!!

[@micheleroth9708]

Was stoked to see them for the first time at the Social and was actually disappointed that they blew up and had to move to the Masquerade!! Still, my first live show with them.

[@TheUPBaller]

A hair-raising video experience. I can only imagine how good they sound in person. Definitely on my “must see” list 🤘🏻🤘🏻

They deserve to play as a star in the evening at the main stage. Here it looks like there is no audience and they play for nobody.

[@MelodyChase]

Holy shit, they're fantastic! So eclectic. I definitely hear a lot of underground 80's influence. His clear vocals and articulation of soft melodics or just plain rippin' it are so damn good! The punk vibes take me back to some of the coolest club moments of that decade. They definitely deserved a more appreciative audience this day.. Official new fan! ✌😎💓🔥

[@Distressedfrog]

Wish I was there!!

[@Lersifer]

Saw them in Peoria IL opening for incubus at spring fling and Springfield IL at the state fair opening for shinedown. They kills the stage.

[@BadflowerUruguay]

They sound incredible on live, a new fan here 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@ne2952]

These guys are dope! Should play European festivals in 2020 with Highly suspect! Get on it!

[@travistiezzi1331]

This band is awesome. They deserve their upcoming album to be #1. They're great performers and songwriters.

[@taylorh4480]

sadly it turned out to be a very weak album. they rushed into making the second album a good year too early. songs just weren’t there yet

[@danieladdison5731]

Lyrics that provoke so much emotion backed by a sound that is so unique. They will continue to grow a huge fan base and give the rock community some great music.

[@timibroughton6678]

They will be bigger then I think they could ever imagine. Louder Than Life in Louisville, Ky is almost here they are performing Sunday Night out of maybe 50 bands they are the only Band I am dying to catch. I been sharing their music and telling people here in Kentucky whom may not heard of them. Some who have performed for years that are well known in our town. I pray Badflower has much success for which is well deserving. They give me goosebumps when I watch and listen to them. Josh is killer Vocals and the band rocks like none I've saw performing. Their energy is contagious as FUCK!!! MUCH SUCCESS GUYS!! YOUR HUGE HUGE FAN TIMI FRANKFORT, KY. LOVE YOU GUYS....

[@timibroughton6678]

May I add they sound as great in video as recorded music. Something most bands have great sound but not as recorded these guys stay the same period. I can't get enough of listening and watching them. Would love to meet them all mostly Josh he such a damn turn on. Shew!!!! Love from Kentucky

[@TheLeboNathan]

Dude being ready for the guitar toss at the end was awesome. Says a lot about the band and who they travel with. They trust their crew and keep them with them, or they punish failure harshly. Pretty sure it the former rather than the latter...hopefully

[@dbyng]

Omg I wanna see them live 😭

[@amburgerk1310]

How much do I have to pay for Josh to yell at me every day?

[@imdone5810]

This is awesome great show

[@georgemoore4068]

The sound here is mixed so poorly, you cant hear the bass in x ana x and it just sounds empty without it. Drums also sound off but I can't put my finger on it. Brilliant performance from the band though

[@kristine9935]

See them headline - You will flipping freak out! . Also, It seems festivals mix always take a bit to get sound right. This is first song.

[@micheleroth9708]

Completely agree!!!

[@riaingalligan8461]

For sure, Alex is a great bassist and it’s sad to not hear his bass mixed better

[@monster314]

This place should be packed don't care how early in the morning I'd go such energy ah a live abulm

[@Ineedatripod]

I wonder how disheartening it is for a band with such talent to play with raw emotion and get no response. This crowd could have been Raleigh this summer and I'm embarrassed. Fucking zombies. This is why we can't have nice things :(

[@DeerLord6616]

Not at all. You play your heart out, whether the crowd is empty or full. If its empty, shit, that's just a jam session. Practice in a live setting. But you make it fun for whoever IS there.

[@Burly_K]

That crowd must be on XanaX... Seriously, how could they be so contained? Like they have no idea how blessed they are in that moment!

[@PunchbowlAstronauts]

There's so many cameramen and this is obviously being professionally filmed but there's nobody there watching?

[@stacyrollins5425]

they just don't show the crowds.. there are a good amount of people that showed up.

[@Egoblivion]

I think it's a festival with many/several bands and Badflower is early in the line-up.

[@stacysparks28]

Sounded like they were the first set of the morning/afternoon. The whole grounds were probably still pretty empty.

[@JrJrJrJrphD]

Stacy Sparks They were in fact the second set of the day. Crowd was actually fairly large, but a lot of people didn’t know them

[@mylasthopemusic]

How 21 person can ''dislike'' that man? #AwesomeShow

[@taylorh4480]

maybe because the mix is so dreadful. band sounds great, mix sounds dead flat

[@kameron5613]

I know this is kinda irrelevant, but I love his little commitment to veganism shown with his plant based sticker on his guitar Also, they sounded great! Especially in Animal and Ghost

Rocking! But theres all kinds of backing vocal tracks mixed in there.

Ultimately, that doesn't matter. Katz sings the majority of it, anything triggered is just for effect, to make a better show for the audience.
