NASTY HABIT

Beth (Nasty Habit)

Beth is our very own Nasty Habit!  Born in Columbus OH, Beth grew up involved in Drama Club, school and church choirs, and dance class.  Poisonous Crue is the first band she’s been a part of and she draws on that background as she takes care of some backing vocals and bringing the presence of “Nasty Habit” to life on stage with all of the glam and energy, just as the original Nasty Habits did for the Girls Girls Girls & Dr Feelgood tours and the Moscow Peace Festival.  Beth says, “I’m having so much fun rocking the house with my bandmates!”

We have never seen a Motley Crue or Poison tribute band so we were very excited to see Poisonous Crue. We were blown away by how much they not only sounded like Motley Crue but how much they looked like them. If you love Motley Crue and Poison as much as I do you have to see this band, they are amazing.

I have seen many Tribute Bands in the last 10 years, most of them were the common popular tribute bands. I've heard bands attempt to do Motley Crue and Poison. Poisonous Crue exceeded my expectations, as they sounded awesome and also looked great and put on an excellent show! If you are a Crue and Poison fan I highly recommend you see them!! They will not disappoint!
