What ended up being a collaboration between former members of the Nu Beams and The Tweezers, represented a seismic blast of evolutionary fusion in  unforeseen depth and energy for all concerned.

This emerging new creature called Bad JuJu, found (from The Tweezers) drummer Alan Sweet, bassist Tim Davis and guitarist and vocalist Bob Brasier, joining forces with (from the Nu Beams) guitarist Dana Roy and vocalist, sax player TL Ary. Also contributing mightily to the project is the extraordinary sax player Steve Barnes. With new high energy material written, rehearsed and performed, Bad JuJu formalized itself with the help of a film crew and director by mounting the stage for some hijinks and mad fun on MTV. The featured song was 'Under My Own Spell.' The strategy of simply placing the band in front of an audience in a club and rolling film was brilliantly simple.

Like all artists, bands - and like life itself, change is a constant and Bad JuJu has seen some stellar individuals occupy the drummers throne; The energetic and bombastic wizardry of drummer Mike Mishe is one of those;

another being the spectacularly astute, agile, intuitive and totally dialed in, Dan Vanpatten, former drummer for the band Berlin. Dan's achievements in the music industry are substantial and well documented. He produced the first record from The Tweezers and so his involvement with Bad JuJu just felt like family.
