Patrick John Badger, more commonly known as "Pat Badger", (born July 22, 1967, in Boston, Massachusetts) is a musician, singer, and songwriter, best known as the bassist in the band Extreme. He has also performed in notable groups like Daemon, In The Pink, Super Trans Atlantic, Tribe of Judah, and The Dark Desert Eagels.

Early life[]

Badger was born in Massachusetts to Al Badger and Lily Badger (née Aguilar).[1] He is of Irish and Honduran descent.[2]

Music[]

He sang backing vocals on both Dweezil Zappa's album Confessions and the Danger Danger album, Screw It!, along with his Extreme bandmates Gary Cherone and Nuno Bettencourt. He has also sung back-up on a live version of the Van Halen song, "When It's Love" on Sammy Hagar's live album, Live: Hallelujah, on which Cherone sang co-lead vocals with Hagar.[3]

In 2013 Pat initiated a PledgeMusic campaign.[4] This helped him release his first solo record, "Time Will Tell". By offering exclusive content to listeners who pledged and providing updates related to the project to his following, the PledgeMusic campaign reached its goal and the record entitled "Time Will Tell" was released in late 2014.[5] In 2016 he followed up with a second PledgeMusic campaign for his second solo album Take What We Want (under the name Nasty Ass Honey Badgers).[6]

In 2017 he formed a band called Dark Desert Eagles, a tribute to the Eagles. The band features Extreme drummer Kevin Figueiredo.[7]
