The Future of Rock Has Arrived
In an era desperate for a rock ‘n’ roll revival, Bad Machine crashes onto the scene like a thunderstorm of raw power, soul, and unrelenting energy. This band isn’t just playing music—they’re reigniting the raw, soulful electricity that once defined the golden age of rock.
At the heart of that fire is Joao Brandi—a Brazilian-born guitarist whose explosive playing powers the band's signature sound. After cutting his teeth in the Brazilian scene, he moved to Los Angeles, performing on iconic stages like The Whisky, The Roxy, and Ozzfest. As Page is to Zeppelin, Perry is to Aerosmith, or Clapton is to Cream, Joao is to Bad Machine.
Beside him stands Karma, a vocal powerhouse who embodies the spirit of rock’s greatest frontwomen and frontmen alike. With a voice that can cut like a knife or soar like a battle cry, she delivers every lyric with raw, unfiltered passion, capturing the essence of Zeppelin’s mystique, the grit of the Allman Brothers, and the rebellious swagger of the Black Crowes.
If one solo virtuoso wasn’t enough, Bad Machine unleashes a second: Sindy Shen. A concert piano prodigy by day and a rock ‘n’ roll firestarter by night, she commands Hammond, Wurlitzer, Rhodes, and grand piano with effortless mastery. With Sindy trading solos and textures alongside Joao, Bad Machine delivers a dynamic one-two punch of virtuosic firepower.
Backed by a powerhouse rhythm section including Monterey legend Pete Hoegemier on bass. Bad Machine are the undeniable heirs to rock’s long-abandoned throne. Bad Machine crafts original tracks that feel instantly iconic—built on unforgettable riffs, driving grooves, and lyrics that cut straight to the heart. Each tune pulses with purpose and precision, holding its own next to the most timeless anthems of classic rock.
This isn’t a throwback. This isn’t nostalgia. This is the sound of rock taking its throne back—loud, fearless, and built to shake the foundation.
