THE MADD

BIOGRAPHY



This quartet from Rotterdam (The Netherlands) knows how to keep a beat. They

started out playing Beat -or rather 'Biet', as they say in Holland-

in 2005. Sharply dressed and knowing their tongue-in-cheek humor,

their sound evolved from the primitive sounding

60's garage to well arranged powerpop songs, still influenced by a

musical area that is far behind us, yet sounding modern, fresh and

played with an urgency that is hard to find in todays popmusic. At first,

The Madd strictly played covers, adding their own special ketchup to

obscure songs that were carefully picked from the boys' own

impressive record-collections and were written more than fourty years ago,

It's even more special that on their latest record, The Madd Are

Pretty Quick (yes, ARE pretty quick, not IS) almost half of the songs are

actually compositions written by these four charming young men in

their own practicespace. Try to hear the difference.

The Madd had a toptwenty hitsingle in Holland with rapper (!) Dio. And

played every major club and festival from the Lowlands festival to the

Amsterdam Paradiso.
