THRASHER MAGAZINE "Denver's Dylan" Westword "...There's an indefinable, inexpressible IT that the best performers have, and Adolf has it, without question." Westword "...Bad Weather California always creates an intense connection with his audience." Denver Post "Bar none, the best acoustic act of the festival. Chris Adolf's songs range from fun to downright haunting, but no matter what, you'll be watching in rapt attention... Why isn't this guy more famous?!" Retro lo-fi I remember when I learned that playing music and devoting yourself to it was something that a regular guy like myself could do. I was just an awkward high school kid no older than 15 years and a friend took me to see his older brother's punk band play. This was back in the days when groups like Dinosaur Jr., Narvana, Fugazi and Sonic Youth ruled the world and still seemed a little scary to me. I was blown the fuck away, these weren't rock stars or gods up there playing. These were dudes that I had eaten breakfast cereal with, dudes that had dropped me off at the mall, dudes that were regular dudes like I was. That serendipitous introduction has stuck with me to this day. It has led me down an organic path of self, perhaps even spiritual-discovery and creativity. I'm not unique in this. It's just that I have chosen to share my path through the things that I make. Here's my vibe: I just want to be a regular dude playing music for regular people. Not any particular type of people. Just people. Every person on this planet is born equipped with a heart for magic and feeling. Why only share feelings with certain people? Fuck that. I mean, everyone is a valid person. This is my church brave and humble. And these are my songs. They go by the fake name (((bad weather California))) love always, Chris Adolf]]> Virb 2.0 (@badweathercalifornia) en IMG_6484 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500232 ]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:14:02 -0800 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500232 IMG_6117 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500231 ]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:13:32 -0800 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500231 IMG_6036 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500229 ]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:13:16 -0800 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500229 IMG_6102-1 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500228 ]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:13:03 -0800 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500228 IMG_6129 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500227 ]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:12:39 -0800 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500227 IMG_6041 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500226 ]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:12:15 -0800 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500226 IMG_6137 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500225 ]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:12:03 -0800 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500225 IMG_6100 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500224 ]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:11:38 -0800 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500224 IMG_6074 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500223 ]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:11:20 -0800 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500223 IMG_6141 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500222 ]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:06:11 -0800 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1500222 Xandy-drums http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1496120 ]]> Sat, 08 Dec 2007 16:31:07 -0800 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1496120 BWC12-24 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1496119 ]]> Sat, 08 Dec 2007 16:30:41 -0800 http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1496119 by SaraCass http://virb.com/badweathercalifornia/photos/1421982
