Biography
London, England (1984 – 1997, 2011 – present)
Mick Jones - guitars & vocals, Don Letts - sound effects & vocals, Dan Donovan - keyboards, Greg Roberts - drums & background vocals, Leo Williams - bass.
The group’s initial incarnation, founded by Jones and film director Don Letts once played in Basement 5 (maker of The Punk Rock Movie, various Clash music videos, and later the Clash documentary Westway to the World), debuted with the 1985 release This Is Big Audio Dynamite. 1986’s No. 10, Upping St. reunited Jones for one album with former Clash-mate Joe Strummer who co-produced the album and co-wrote a number of songs, but that reacquaintance soon ended. BAD supported U2 on their 1987 world tour, then followed with 1988’s Tighten Up Vol. ‘88 and 1989 Megatop Phoenix. BAD supported U2 on the leg of their 1992 Zoo TV Tour that included Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
The band changed their name to Big Audio Dynamite II for the 1990 album “The Globe” and changed the name once more to Big Audio for 1994’s “Higher Power”. The band returned to the Big Audio Dynamite name in 1995 for the albums “F-Punk” (1995) and “Entering a New Ride” (1997) before ultimately disbanding in 1997. The band reunited in 2011.

Alot of their stuff sounds alot like R.E.M - Radio Song (About 0:30 onwards)... Or vise versa

Seriously hoping they do more of a US tour than just the few dates in NY/LA that they played........

Saw them at the Roxy, it was amazing.

Good Coachella set! Sadly, it seems Mick Jones, one of the grandfathers of punk (and hence alternative music, and a whole lot of the bands that played at Coachella), drew a smaller audience than flavor-of-the-month Mumford and Sons, who were playing at the same time. Oh well!

They were AMAZING at shepherd's bush. Thank you kindly, Mick. The best voice in rock and roll? Just something about it!
