Bad Flirt is an indie pop band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, originally formed as a solo project. The band was launched in its current form in the winter of 2004 and has since played more than 200 shows.

History

Starting in the spring of 2002, Bad Flirt performed extensively as a solo artist in Eastern Canada and the United States using the name Bad Flirt. Bad Flirt shared the stage with One Candle Power and Jade Tree recording artist Onelinedrawing during an early performance in Montreal. Bad Flirt performed again with Onelinedrawing in 2003 and in the same year shared the stage with Victory Records' The Sleeping, Bayside and Glasseater as well as the now defunct group The Unicorns.

Bad Flirt released an EP in the summer of 2003 entitled The August Issues; a tour followed the release of this album. Bad Flirt played shows with Relapse Records band Buried Inside, Astralwerks dance punk group VHS or BETA,[1] and played at the 2003 edition of POP Montreal.

In 2004, Bad Flirt took a break from touring and began working on their second EP. It was during this time the project expanded to a band. Bad Flirt enlisted ex-A Vertical Mosaic members Heidi Donnely and Edmund Lam, as well as guitarist Mark Grinberg. The first release by the newly formed band was 6 Ways To Break Your Heart, completed in 2005. This incarnation of Bad Flirt toured extensively throughout 2005. During the tour, the band appeared at The Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey, among other notable venues.[2] The record was played on college, community and mainstream radio stations.[3][4]

In the summer of 2005, Donnely, Lam, and Grinberg left the band amicably to pursue other projects. The group then played a number of shows along the east coast of Canada. The band also played the 2005 edition of POP Montreal[5] and shared the stage with The Kills, Magneta Lane and Rogue Wave. During 2005, the band also composed and performed music for the Canadian film Breakfast of Imbeciles[6]

In the winter of 2006, the band released a 7" on the New York City-based label Frigid Ember. The single, entitled "Head On," was a poppy, dancy melange of 80's pop jams and 90's shoegazer riffs.[7] Bad Flirt continued to perform at high-profile shows with bands such as Say Hi To Your Mom and Sub Pop's The Elected (members of Rilo Kiley). Following the release of the 7" in the summer of 2006, Bad Flirt performed at the Montreal Fringe Festival and recruited two new members: Matt Holden and Rafael De La Durantaye.

In August 2006 Bad Flirt embarked on an extensive US tour with the Irish duo Oppenheimer (Bar None Records).[8] In early 2008, the band completed their first full-length record, produced by Howard Bilerman and released by Kartel/Universal, and completed an extensive tour of the US and Canada.[9]
