A bass player with roots dating back to 1995, Karl was born in the LA bar scene since. With an early love for the bass lines of Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Les Claypool (Primus), alongside the raw energy of 2-Tone ska. Karl’s playing is deeply rooted in percussive, movement-driven rhythms that define a signature style. Over the years, this foundation expanded with influences from bands like No Doubt, 311, Sublime, and Incubus, infusing his style with a dynamic blend of punk, ska, and rock vibes. Before landing with Bad BBQ, Karl played in several bands throughout the LA scene, including The Winton Charles Blues Band, The Chad Campbell Project, Siggy, and Salty Buckets, earning a reputation for fast-paced, aggressive bass lines that always keep the crowd moving. Today, as the bassist for Bad BBQ, he continues to bring high energy and sharp grooves to every performance, making sure the crowd can’t help but get up and get down.

British expat and the okayest guitarist BadBBQ has ever had.  When he isn’t noodling & slinging chunky riffs for an audience,  Cameron enjoys being off-leash outside, having a drink with friends, being a decent teammate in a golf scramble, absorbing random trivia, camping out in the sticks with Lauren, watching combat sports, cooking spicy food and getting hyper-focused on video games.

Ty has been a self-proclaimed woodwind nerd since elementary school, starting on the flute and eventually picking up the alto sax, along with any other instruments that are needed to nail the group’s sound. An SOU graduate with a focus in music, he’s spent years performing in local ensembles and theater pits for classics like The Wizard of Oz and Mary Poppins. Ty has always enjoyed pop-punk, often finding this genre as the dominating playlist on his iPod back in the 2000’s. Now that he’s playing it in a band it couldn’t be a better feeling.
