MADNESS

 

 

From London.  Led by Graham "Suggs" McPherson (vocals) with Cathal "Chas Smash" Smyth (vocals/trumpet), Lee "Kix" Thompson (saxophone), Chris "Chrissy Boy" Foreman (guitar), Daniel "Woody" Woodgate (drums), Mark "Bedders" Bedford (bass) and Mike "Monsieur Barso" Barson (keyboards).  The greatest of the second wave ska bands began as The Invaders, they renamed themselves and their ska derivative sound as "The Nutty Sound".  One of the most popular bands in England ever!  Originally signed to the classic Two Tone label they quickly moved to Stiff and began an attack on the British charts that has seen few equals.  By 1985 the band was through but reformed with most of the principle members as The Madness for one album in 1988.  In 1992, they had a reunion concert called "Madstock" that was so successful that it has turned into a semi-annual event.  The group then officially reformed and toured the west coast of the USA to give the largest audience of the third wave ska-punk scene a treat and to show them how it's really done. Suggs found a successful solo career as both a singer, television host and radio dj.  Woodgate and Bedford became members of Voice Of The Beehive.  Foreman and Thompson became The Nutty Boys and then changed their name to Crunch.  The reunited Madness released their first new studio single in 15 years in July of 1999 which waqs followed by internet releases and a few new full length efforts as well.  1979-85/1988/1992/1999-present.
