BADBADNOTGOOD evolve into four man musical force with IV

Saxophonist Leland Whitty joins the three original members of BADBADNOTGOOD in their latest genre-defying record.

BADBADNOTGOOD is a band low on restrictions and high on experimentation. The original three members met in music school — but they soon found they were evolving too quickly for traditional course work.

Their breakthrough collaborative record, Sour Soul, blended hip hop, jazz and the talents of Wu Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah.

Now the bad is evolving once again with the permanent addition of saxophonist Leland Whitty, as well as an array of new collaborators.

Today Whitty, Matthew Tavares, Chester Hansen and Alex Sowinski join guest host Stephen Quinn to perform from their latest record IV.

BADBADNOTGOOD will be playing a variety of festivals this summer, including this weekend at Wayhome Festival just north of Barrie.
