The Madhappies Showcase Gig (May 18, 2006 Thursday)

The Madhappies had a showcase gig on the 18th of May 2006. That was last Thursday. It was held at "The Browns Plains Hotel", which was about 45 minutes away. We drove, paid toll, got lost and arrived just in time to unload and have a few drinks. Three bands played that night. The first band was shit. The Madhappies was the 2nd band to go on. The third band was an o.k. cover band called "The College of Beer". Brad Buckley is some guy who works for Pushworth Group. He puts on industry nights and from what I've heard, he liked The Madhappies. So did the bartender who said that The Madhappies was the best band there that night.

They have another gig on the 30th of May 2006 at The Living Room on Caxton St., Paddington. They go on at 11pm. Good thing I don't have to work the next day. They have another gig on the 1st of June 2006 at the Alley Bar, Milton. They go on at 10:45pm.

Their first album "Bad Motivator" has been mastered. They're just waiting for the artwork to finish before releasing it. They're also making a video for "Dying Breed". They've had airplay. They already have a few new songs for the next album. One awesome song is "Go Faster". I can't wait for them to do a proper recording of that song.
