Disco, Metal, House. The 3 words most commonly used to describe the aggressive and highly-energized audio/visual experience that is Bad Dagger. Since first coming on to the scene as a group in early 2012, the dynamic 3 piece has impressed and entertained audiences with their creative and unique presentation of audio and visual production. Bad Dagger has appropriately been called "One instrument that takes 3 people to play."

Based in Indianapolis, IN, Bad Dagger is led by Cameron Reel on live audio production (synths, basses, pads, leads via Ableton/ MacBook Pro) as well as bass guitar. On drum set and sample pad, Eddie Roodvoets provides an intense and nonstop energy to the music. The live video production of Jesse Bieber makes Bad Dagger not just a band, but a full-on multimedia entertainment machine. Extremely danceable and cinematic, this act has a tendency to switch gears without warning, making it possible to touch on a wide array of genres in each set. They make use of this versatility with relentless passion and vigor.

​Their blend of musical genres is indeed unique. Nothing sounds like Bad Dagger. Monumental and sublime at times, then hard, dark and anchored at others. A typical Bad Dagger set is certainly wide in scope, touching on elements of Electro, House, Metal, Prog, Funk, Disco, and Big Beat. The sensory onslaught is made complete by live video production tailored to and integrated with the music in such a way that it leaves each audience member with a sense of having an experience rather than just seeing a concert.

In a career spanning thirty years, Phish became one of the most significant live music phenomena of all time. On the basis of word-of-mouth about their performances—with virtually no radio or video support—the band grew from playing club gigs along their native East Coast to drawing 100,000 music fans to remote corners of the country. At every turn, Phish managed to win over newcomers and casual fans as well as maintain the loyalty of their devotees with a singularly broad repertoire, virtuosity, and by making a unique event of each show.
