We had the good fortune of connecting with Patrick Kleinknecht and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Patrick, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor to us is being genuine. We strive to explore ourselves and show what we find through our art. We believe that being genuine and honest about ourselves and what we believe in will help to show others it’s ok to follow their dreams.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
BADE is a progressive, hard rock band from Columbus,OH. We strive to incorporate hard rock, blues, jam, grunge, electronica, and metal into a cohesive sound that allows the listener to experience catharsis. We attempt to show ourselves in everything we do. This has its ups and downs, but is extremely rewarding. We have learned many lessons about team work and compromise. We are most excited about the release of our first full length album, “Senescent”. We have worked hard over the last 3 years to create songs that are the most ourselves.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
my favorite places in the city include The summit music hall for local, and smaller touring acts. It is very intimate, and has really great production. We would go to Matt and Tony’s to eat. It is always a really great meal. I always like taking a stroll through Goodale park.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
We would like to thank our friends and family for the incredible support over the years as we continue to pursue our dream,
