With BAD ASS ROMANCE, KROKUS guitarist Fernando von Arb is writing another chapter in the history of the Swiss rock scene. Over the past 10 years, the band has earned a reputation as one of Switzerland’s best live acts with their high-energy, sweat-inducing performances and is currently regarded as the only true alternative to Krokus.
In addition to classic rock gems, the setlist includes many KROKUS hits such as "Heatstrokes," "Long Stick Goes Boom," and "Bedside Radio," as well as songs that Krokus rarely performs, like "Down the Drain" and "Stayed Awake All Night."
