Bad Boy has created legends in the Midwestern rock scene for more than two decades. Founders Steve Grimm, John Marcelli, Joey LaVie, and Lars Hanson began their performance and songwriting careers in their teens as Crossfire. United Artists signed the band to a two album deal in 1977, but changed the name to Bad Boy, as the name Crossfire was already in use. Both albums, "The Band That Milwaukee Made Famous" and "Back To Back" reached the top 100 nationwide.

Xeno joined the band after his years with Cheap
Trick in the early 80's. Bad Boy released "Electric Eyes" and "Girl On The Run" on their own Streetwise and Legend labels which both received regional airplay with their singles Cheat On Me, Thunder and Lightning, and Midnight Love which drew national attention to the band once again.

In 2002 with it's new foundation in place released "We Should've Been Dead By Now" containing all new material. One of the tracks on the release, "What are You Crazy?" reached #11 on the popular Garageband web site.

This was to show appreciation for making The Brew Milwaukee's #1 Radio Station by holding a "Private Party" for listeners at Milwaukee's premier music venue The Northern Lights Theater.

Bad Boy recorded this show for their new 2005 release "Live Northern Lights" which now offers fans the chance to capture the energy of their music live for the first time.
