All answers are representative for the whole band (Formulated by Andrea Raffaela (Vocals) and translated by Andri Leonardo (Keys)

Can you tell us about the origin of the band name, a history of the band and a little bit about the various members?

We just think the name is cool and it indicates that we are a female fronted band. It just sounds sexy. We haven’t been around as a band for very long, but we are all experienced and motivated musicians who plan to make history in the future. 😀

Are you all from the same area? How did you get together as a band?

We are all from Switzerland and very passionate about playing big stages. So we got together to work on making it happen.

Who are your favourite artists/bands and how have they influenced your own sound?

It’s different for everyone. But for the band sound, we were influenced by power metal legends like Helloween and Stratovarious on the one hand and Arch Enemy, Battle Beast and Europe on the other. Hence the unique melodic sound.

Did you always have the ambition to be a musician and in a band or did you originally have other plans?

Yes. *.* Making music together makes so much more fun than by yourself.

What songs or albums are on your current playlist?

The new Bad Marilyn album, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and many more…

Do you sing in the shower?

Apart from Andrea, our lead singer, everyone has other plans in the shower…

Do you have any plans for the band for this year and into next year?

We are working on our first album release for May 2024 and on the music videos for the selected singles. The goal for next year is to play as many live shows as possible.

Do you currently have any new songs/albums ready to be released?

Yes. You can pre-order our album here: www.bad-marilyn.com/album-pre-order . For the first 50 pre-orders there’s an additional Early-Bird goodie. 😀

If you could play at any venue in the world where would you choose?

At the sold-out Wembley Stadium.

Do you have a favourite album? If so, what is it?

No, not really. We are all very open with a wide range of influences.

Do you have any guilty pleasure songs/albums?

No, not really.

If you were putting together the greatest show on earth, who would be playing?

Bad Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley

Can you remember the first album you bought with your own money? What was it and do you still have it?

Nena – 99 air balloons and yes, it is still in the collection.

As your fans will be reading this, is there any message you would like to send out to them?

Don’t do anything we wouldn’t and order our album 😀 We hope to see you at our next show: April 27, 2024 at Rockfact Münchenstein, Switzerland.
