Mad Caddies @ O2 Islington, London, UK
Date: November 25th 2012
Opening Bands: The Filaments, Electric River, Nick Long
Band Link: www.facebook.com/madcaddiesofficial
Dating myself and well the band too, but I haven’t seen the Mad caddies since they opened up the 1997 Warped Tour in Asbury Park, NJ. They were new to the scene and it was really a welcomed sight as well. Flash forward several years, releases and many many tours, the band is still going strong, albeit, maybe not as full time as when Ska/ Punk was at its boon.

Well the Summer Olympics just got ten times more interesting! The Specials will close out the Olympics with Blur and New Order in Hyde Park at the closing ceremonies.

It’s no secret that the Levellers is my favorite band. While I can’t cross the pond to go see them perform all the time, the next best thing is either their live DVDs or CDs.

The album is available through the band’s fanclub, or you can purchase a download version at iTunes internationally (yes it’s available on US iTunes as well)!
