Neil Welch (saxophone/electronics) and Chris Icasianso (drums) collectively destroyed the fabric of their musical identities by slamming their instruments like a hammer on an anvil.

Bad Luck performs in another cosmos from most bands. Emerging out of more than a decade of collaboration, the new album Four “bears down on you like a cyclone of fire” (The Stranger) and is a genre-defying supernova of electronics, hip hop, metal, folk and jazz. Saxophone/electronics player Neil Welch and drummer Chris Icasiano met ten years ago as jazz students at the University of Washington and built a friendship as they discovered free improvisation together. Or, as Welch puts it, they “collectively destroyed the fabric of their musical identities by slamming their instruments like a hammer on an anvil.”
