Take all those influences above, throw it in a blender, mix in some explosive-proof rum and gasoline, and spin! Serve with strobe lights, pyrotechnics, and a lime wedge and you'll get an idea what the live show is like! You're gonna want to use this in place of any of those antidepressants you've been taking! THIS music is the antidote to all of that dark, angst ridden, brooding and whiney music you will find out there today without becoming overly sentimental or sappy. MADHOUSE is just plain FUN!!! The band's live shows are quite a spectacle to behold, with loads of antics, props and peculiar dance moves. These guys are not just musicians…they are entertainers! The music is delivered with energy and musicianship to spare, and the audience is always made to feel they are part of the show.
SO...who the heck are these guys? (I hear you asking) Well, MADHOUSE is an Orlando based, original pop/rock group. That is the short answer to the question...
MADHOUSE is a pop/rock band out of Orlando, Florida. Their music falls loosely under the heading of ”pop” but is really a unique blend of many musical styles such as rock, folk, latin, country and swing. The music is very upbeat, saturated with extremely catchy hooks and lyrics that often tell stories with a decidedly "tongue in cheek" flare. At times it sounds a little "retro" but at others much more contemporary.
MADHOUSE’s upcoming CD release “STRONG KUNG FU” will be available Spring 2006. BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE BAND'S NEW CHRISTMAS CD "DRUNKEN SNOWMEN" OVER ON CD BABY!
