Bad Radio was a four-piece, American funk rock band that formed in San Diego, California in 1986. The band is most notable for having featured future Pearl Jam vocalist Eddie Vedder as its lead singer from 1988–1990. The band was a popular live band in Southern California, but never released a record on a label.

History
Bad Radio was formed in 1986 by vocalist Keith Wood, guitarist Dave George, bassist Dave Silva, and drummer Joey Ponchetti. The music of the original incarnation of the band was influenced by Duran Duran. Between 1988 and 1990, future Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder was the vocalist. After Vedder joined Bad Radio, the band moved on to a more alternative rock sound influenced by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. During his time with the band he premiered the song "Better Man", which would later be recorded with Pearl Jam.

In 1989, the band released a 4-song demo tape which has been dubbed the Tower Records Demo due to it being sold locally in San Diego Tower Records stores for about a year. Later that year the band released another demo tape titled What the Funk. The demo tape was funded after winning a battle of the bands contest held by San Diego radio station 91X. The demo tape included recordings of songs titled, "I'm Alive", "Homeless", "What the Funk", and "Believe You Me".

Vedder's last show with the band was February 11, 1990. After Vedder left, original band vocalist Keith Wood replaced him, and the band relocated to Hollywood, where the band was joined by a new drummer, Dawn Richardson. Richardson would later join the 4 Non Blondes.

1986 establishments in California Roderick Demick (born 17 March 1947) is a British guitarist and bassist who has played with many leading musicians.

Life and career
Born in Prestatyn in north Wales, Demick moved with his parents to Belfast, Northern Ireland, aged 5.  He learned guitar and at the age of 11 joined his first band, the Vibros, who later became the Telstars (or Tony and the Telstars).  In 1963 he joined another Belfast band, The Wheels, and moved with them to England the following year.  With Demick on rhythm guitar, harmonica and vocals, the band released several singles, including "Bad Little Woman", later recorded by The Shadows of Knight, and supported visiting American musicians such as John Lee Hooker.
  
After the Wheels broke up in 1967, Demick and his bandmate, lead guitarist Herbie Armstrong, joined Screaming Lord Sutch's band, known at the time as the Beautiful Quality, for six months.  The following year, the pair left and recorded as the James Brothers, releasing two unsuccessful singles on the Page One label in 1968.  Demick and Armstrong continued as a duo under their own names, toured with a band, and released several singles and two albums, Little Willy Ramble (MAM, 1971) and Lookin' Through (A&M, 1972), described by Allmusic reviewer Craig Harris as "impressive".

Demick worked as a session musician in the 1970s.  In 1973, he joined influential pub rock band Bees Make Honey, but the album recorded by that line-up of the band was unreleased and the band split up in 1974.  Demick reunited with Herbie Armstrong in 1978, in the band Yellow Dog.    He then joined the band Meal Ticket,  toured with them and appeared on their 1978 album Take Away, before working with singer-songwriter Ian Gomm, touring the US with Gomm as support act for Dire Straits, and appearing on two of Gomm's albums, What a Blow and Village Voice.

Demick joined David Essex's band as bassist in the early 1980s, touring with Essex for several years and appearing on the 1983 album The Whisper.  He also played with Ron Kavana, before joining the Strawbs in 1985 as replacement for John Ford.  He continued as a member of the Strawbs until 1998, also playing with their spin-off blues band, Turkey Leg Johnson, and in several bands led by Jim McCarty, including the Yardbirds at the time of their 1992 reunion performances.  Other musicians with whom he has performed include Dr. John, Billy Ocean, and Taj Mahal.
 
In the early 1990s, Demick joined the Paul Lamb Blues Band.  After finally leaving the Strawbs, he became a permanent member of Paul Lamb and the King Snakes in 1999.
