Henry Badowski

Henry Badowski

Henry Badowski (Born October 1958) is a Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, composer. Henry Badowski is a veteran of many bands of the punk & new wave era. The first band of note that he became a member of was Gene October's Chelsea, (arguably the very first punk band) where he was a bassist. Then he went on to join Wreckless Eric's band (notable tune: "Whole Wide World"). Henry also played (however briefly) with Alternative TV. He was a temporary member of The Damned, playing bass guitar in autumn 1978, and then launched a solo career in 1979, with a couple singles.

The first, "Baby, Sign Here With Me" b/w "Making Love With My Wife", did well enough to be picked up by A&M UK (it was DFC11, a "Deptford Fun City Record" -- one of Miles Copeland's labels). "Making Love..." is notable because on this one Henry played ALL the instruments. This single was followed by "My Face" b/w "Four More Seasons". Note that the b-sides of these UK Singles are non-LP tracks, though "Making Love..." is the US B-side of Henry's only US Single "Four More Seasons" is a strange instrumental collaboration (with violinist Aleksander Kolkowski) in four acts... And his full-length LP followed from which a third single Henry's In Love was drawn. Alas, sales warranted no follow-up and Henry has withdrawn from music and public life.
