Bad Liars

Bad Liars, based in Atlanta, was formed in 2019 by the talented lineup of Jordi (vocals, guitar), Mike Nizinski (vocals, guitar), and Randy Lybbert (vocals, bass). Later on, they found Blake Hoffmeyer (drums) somewhere…maybe on a lake, or a river?

Drawing from their diverse inspirations spanning punk, indie, 90s alt, and pop rock, Bad Liars delivers an electrifying live performance that confirms expectations of middle-aged musicians who love to play for an eager crowd. With a fusion of genres and a commitment to high-energy performances, they look to push boundaries, defy stereotypes, and energize the crowd with an unforgettable show.

Jordi Castells

Is the pseudonym for Dr. Mephisto Love (P.h.D.), who adopted this persona after being granted asylum and witness protection in the US while on the run from satanic drug cartels in his native Mexico. His prowess in the arts of psychomagic is only matched by his love for exotic game meats and mezcal. Jordi has been playing in punk rock bands, DIY-ing and badly lying since the late 1990s.

Mike Nizinski

Mike began playing guitar in the mid-90s and started writing shortly after. After moving to Atlanta in early 2000, he cut his teeth playing original songs at Eddie's Attic — a famed ATL open mic spot known for launching many song writing careers. Even with major influence ranging from hard rock bands like Guns n' Roses to more alternative acts like Blind Melon, Mike can't seem to escape his love of the pop punk rock from his youth.

Randy Lybbert

Growing up close to the 90's musical haven in the Pacific North West, Randy has an eclectic musical taste. Mixing humor with relatable life situations, Randy brings new ideas to his band mates. While mostly playing bass, Randy also dabbles in music production and can, if you beg him, play guitar.

Blake Hoffmeyer

Blake was found on a river with a stick and bucket. He was quickly recruited to take the place of HAL-DRUMS 1000.
