Badgeworth was formed in 1997, when two brothers (Bradio and Chadio, the original creators of the extreme water sport Coastal Rolling) re-discovered the brilliance of a near-by village - Badgeworth. They fell in love with the bustling village and tried to capture the excitement and buzz of the place with music.
They started to write poetry about the village and when it came to put music to the words they turned to the computer to create their sound.
After creating their first PIECE - "Welcome to Badgeworth", they realised that they had discovered something new and great. Something that no-one else had ever done before. They could not call this new sound "Music"; they had to think of a new name for this newly discovered genre. They decided upon "Liono".
A full album (titled "forest of liono") of 7 tracks was created, following up the single release of "you have just improved your life". This album contained the classics - "Buh", "Stanley" and "I HEAR LIONO" among others.
Alongside this liono explosion, Badgeworth seemed to grow also. Posters were left around the village advertising various businesses that were moving into the vicinity. There was a huge excitement around the village.
Badgeworth tried to distribute their new sound by placing advertisements in various music magazines. But there was no luck.
Eventually, after a lot of hard work and having sold no records. The band went on a long term break. Along with the break in liono, the business that was promised to move into Badgeworth seemed to disappear. No one ever found out what happened to the planned "Badgeworth Records", Prison, Mental Institute and Weapons Testing Facility. Although, some of the posters were taken down by Alan and kept as souvenirs.
In this period, there was the occasional solo effort by each of the brothers, but none seemed to capture the original essence of Liono.
These inspirational recordings remain a powerful reminder of the original manifestation of Liono.
You have just improved your life.
