“At the tender age of 20, [Bad Flirt] amassed some impressive entertainment biz mileage, high-tailing it from zine contributor to Exclaim magazine reporter, from would-be promoter to Total Casting agent, and from disorganized emo band member to solo alt-pop charmer. The Mirror lent an ear as the Bad Flirt discussed finding love, saucy stage antics and her inner punk.” - Communications Gratte-Ciel Ltée
“The young in Ms. Jasamine toys with back-beats and guitars to make tunes that you can bank on. Plus Twister Tournaments and possibly other activities like Bad Flirt T-Shirt making contests and sandcastle competitions.” - Judy Miszner

Bio
Embraced by lo-fi tweakers, punk-rock pranksters and pop tarts all at once, Bad Flirt has proven good songs can traverse genre borderlines.
Founded in 2001 as a solo acoustic project, Jasamine White-Gluz used her experiences as a journalist and musician in the punk music scenes of Montreal to help define her sound.
Jasamine took a punk-rock DIY attitude and indie-pop sensibility to put together Songs for Traffic
a 3-song demo that included the hugely popular track, My Expensive Hobby. The demo garnered immediate attention from the underground music scenes.
Soon afterwards Bad Flirt released the 7-song EP, The August Issues, and completed a year of constant touring, travelling by Greyhound and playing solo shows up and down the East Coast.
During this time, live shows ranged from the intense to the insane, with Bad Flirt including a regular Twister game tournament in every set.
Now recording and performing as a 4 piece electric band, Bad Flirt retains its fervent punk spirit and bridges it, with smart-pop. Mixing all the fuzz of The Jesus and Mary Chain, the melodies of Jimmy Eat World, and the sugariness of Juliana Hatfield, Bad Flirt is the soundtrack to the broken hearted and the heartbreakers everywhere.
Bad Flirt's new album, '6 Ways To Break Your Heart' is scheduled to hit stores in May 2005 with concert dates to follow...
