Madness

Madness

When do they perform: 4/13 4/20.
what do they sound like: 2-tone ska, but more or less pop since they did record "Our House".

Thoughts: Back in 2008, Madness was on the initial lineup. As it turns out, their management mentioned that they weren't confirmed to perform that year, so that left me a bit heartbroken. Four years later, I'm excited to see that they are finally confirmed for this year's festivities. If you are into 2-tone ska groups like The Specials and The Beat, then you should really check them out. For those who are not familiar with their work, I'm sure you've heard them before with such huge hits "It Must Be Love" and "Our House". Anyway, they are known to be really fun live. So check them out.

What should I listen: One Step Beyond, their first album. I would then check out their famous singles like "Our House", "It Must Be Love", "Michael Caine", "Tomorrow's Just Another Day".
