The Bad Experience Grass Lake, Michigan 1966-1969 Formed in 1966, we were all country boys who became immersed in the politics of revolution, we were totally taken up by the Michigan music scene. We played lots of school dances, car clubs, and Ann Arbor U of M parties. We always had a good following as we were the ONLY rock n roll band from around our area and we kicked ass! We played mostly covers by Hendrix, the MC5, Psychedelic Stooges, Cream, Iron Butterfly. Donny was the only one who had a drivers license so he drove us to all the gigs. We played around Ann Arbor, Jackson and Chelsea Michigan.
