BADFLOWER POWER

Following their incendiary gig at L.A.'s storied Troubadour, Big Machine/John Varvatos Records rockers Badflower, whose "Ghost" is kicking in at radio, posed with key execs and enjoyed their tales of hard-rock excess. "One time I threw a mini-fridge out of a 10th floor window of the Peninsula just to see if it would land in the pool," said BMLG Chief Marketing Officer Mike Rittberg. "Once I deep-fried a '59 Les Paul and served it to a PD with a bottle of ketchup," recalled SVP Promo/Marketing Heather Luke. "I sewed blotter acid into the lining of my own pants," said Varvatos. "And it's finally kicking in." Later, Apple Music's Brian Pesaturo disclosed some of the unsavory things he's asked Siri. Seen flowering are (l-r) Varvatos, Rittberg, the band's Alex Espiritu, Josh Katz and Anthony Sonetti, Pesaturo, the band's Joseph Paul Morrow and Luke.
