THE BAI BANG STORY
BIOGRAPHY
A driving force in the Swedish rock scene of the 2000’s, Bai Bang hails from Helsingborg, Sweden. The Glam Rock band’s music ranges from classic raunchy sleaze rock to melodic hard rock. Founding member Diddi Kastenholt writes the music and feels the best writing has been on the last 4 albums Rock of Life, All Around The World, Livin’ My Dream and Are You Ready. ‘Best of Four’ was released on May 31st, 2019 via Lion’s Pride Music.
Bai Bang’s early years were formed from their own listening tastes of bands such as T-Rex, Sweet and Kiss. They got their first major tour with Scotland’s Nazareth and have since toured with Alice Cooper, Pretty Maids, Dio, Ratt, Union, L.A. Guns and many others throughout the years.
Since their tour with Nazareth, Bai Bang have toured Europe, Canada, Japan and the USA.
The band has been featured at festivals such as; Wacken Open Air, Sweden Rock Festival, Rocklahoma, Hard Rock Hell Sleaze, Hard Rock Hell AOR, Hard Rock Hell and H.E.A.T. Festival.
