About Me



Debut Album out now

Bad Motivator
get it instores now or but it online at


With a brow raising blend of exotic rhythms and spaghetti western twang, the Madhappies have infected the local music scene with their tight pants, modern haircuts and deeply suggestive lyrics. Their catchy mix of rock/indie/pop has been compared to the likes of the Hoodoo Gurus, INXS and the Rolling Stones just to name a few.
The Madhappies have progressed from the lounge room to the stage over the past couple of years in their quest to become one of Brisbane's most loved bands. 2006 has witnessed them launch their debut album 'Bad Motivator' to an excited crowd at the Zoo; secure a number of spots on the Transmit006 series of shows around the Valley; organise a big bill for the Valley Fiesta and play a host of gigs around town in between.
They have been receiving regular airplay on 4ZzZ as well as being interviewed on Triple J's Hack for their part in performing a live web cast for the pioneering Raw Audio website. A unique thrill for them was to judge the annual high school Rock Awards at St. Columbans College and perform in front over 500 of the toughest critic's around- high-school students.
Their debut album 'Bad Motivator' was recorded at industry respected Airlock Studios in early January 2006 and is certainly worthy of high praise and accolades. The Madhappies were joined by Nina Best in the studio and for a handful of gigs to promote the album shortly after its release. Their film clip for the song 'Dying Breed' has been distributed nation wide through Night Life and has been played to a national audience on Rage. With a variety of songs ranging from the heartfelt ballad to the soaring epic, the album is a must for any music enthusiast.
When Paul, Josh and Jerry got together in early 2005 to jam out some songs for a one off gig, it then became apparent that they were destined for bigger things. Looking to add another layer to their rich sound, and Josh's musical ability craving for more strings, he decided to move to guitar and the Madhappies recruited some fresh blood in the shape of the multitalented bass playing Jackie. The Madhappies are continuing to make a name for themselves while picking up an ever growing number of fans along the way.
