Artist Spotlight of the week!
Introducing BADMAN!
We’d like to welcome a new addition to the Eclipse family, BADMAN! Originally hailing from St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, they formed in 2008 and quickly became the island’s “Mightiest Band”. With sold out shows, and radio support they decided it was time to take it to the states. BADMAN has just recently relocated to St. Augustine, and we’re happy they did! Bringing their rock/reggae/dance originals to the mainland for a nice change of pace! They’ve had a busy summer touring the Southeast, and are now headed back to “The Rock” for four amazing shows!
BADMAN is scheduled to start production on their new album here at Eclipse Studios starting in November. They currently have an eight song self titled demo available on iTunes. Check them out on Facebook to stay tuned in for more updates, and tour info on BADMAN!
