Bad Luck Inc.

In 1986, Bad Luck inc. was started in Ferndale, Michigan, USA. Rick Nelson and Paul Whittaker, childhood friends, got together to put Paul’s music and Rick’s words together. Things were on there way, although there were different members that would come and go. After all the changes, the solid line up was formed of Paul Whittaker- vocals/guitar, Rick Nelson- bass/vocals, and Bob Branum- drums/vocals. These guys were the heart of Bad Luck. The band liked to play “raw-edge” style music. It was loud and rowdy, punk music– from originals to covers. Bad Luck actually recorded four albums and a few videos, as well. The band played at all the clubs/venues in the city and had quite a large fan base. The fans never knew what to expect. The shows sometimes had smoke machines, strobe/laser lights, mirrors/guitars smashed, it was never uneventful.The band stayed together until 1997. The members drifted apart into doing their own interests.
