Everything We Do is Driven by Mad Love.

About Me



Early formation, circa winter 2005-2006 finds Matty C, Matt Stevens, Nate Stevens and Scooter jamming through a Wookiefoot hiatus.....spring comes, we are all itching to play, with a limited Wookiefoot schedule leaving us jonsing for more time to shine together, MAD LOVE is formed with the addition of Marcus, Emily, Nicole and Alyssa. We wanted a group to let our collective talents shine, a group with an organizing principle of collective conciousness, with a focus on musical collaboration, and a space to create together with one mind...MAD LOVE brings the best of the best together in one circle for the benefit of all involved.....stay tuned, we have only just begun......

Sounds Like: "Then I moved to the Cabooze, where this great soul-hippie-funk band, Mad Love, played one of their first-ever shows. The grooves were liquid, the songs' lyrics were blueswoman bad-ass frank and hippie-chick all-loving, and the three female singers were so serpentine, powerful, sensual, sexy, and smart, that if Prince was still talent-prowling the clubs he'd have one of his vampires descend and he'd already be off concocting Vanity '06 or some shit -- though from the looks of things they're too tough, too self-contained, and too sexy-confident, to be bothered with some smart guy's advice.(Did I mention sexy? Dude, it wasn't just me: The four young fellas standing next to me were ready to become the three Sirens' love slaves on the spot. I talked them down, but I left early, and for all I know they got backstage and they may be Mad Love-slave roadkill by now.)"-Jim Walsh, The Mad Ripple
