About Me

“ We are white men and we wish we were black women”.
THE HAT MADDER STORY (In Short)
... A runaway train speeding out of control colliding with a gridlocked traffic jam and all you heard were car stereos turned up too loud, blaring the evil music of a band called THE HAT MADDER.
“The weirdness of local boys The Hat Madder would probably cause the fictional character to consider rehab." "Their new album is nothing short of amazing. You just can't go wrong with a song called "Sodomy Parade." They are the perfect mix of hardcore, glam, and '80s-type shit with brilliant hooks and creative lyrics. I've yet to see a live show, but I haven't had the money to afford the needed drugs. -Aaron Rajala, Reel Detroit Weekly
The Hat Madder sound is best described as Garbage Can/Indie/Glam. Influences have included the likes of Sonic Youth, The Pixies, DEVO, Shudder to Think, The Afghan Whigs and 90’s indie rock poets Archers of Loaf. Their loud and energetic live shows have quickly created an eager fan base. “An audience of zombies, eyes are glazed over as tiny earth brains struggle to make sense out of the situation. Suddenly something clicks inside and there is an overwhelming feeling of total awareness in the room. This is when we know ... the audience is our bitch and they will do anything we say. That’s why we do it, man, the power.” The Hat Madder have just finished thier debut full length studio album in Tucson, AZ and are planning a tour in support of their upcoming debut "Friend of the Devil".
