About
Who are we?
We are versatile musicians capable of performing with different arrangements, electric, acoustic, full band, trio, etc. to provide an uplifting vibe to any venue, space or event.
We are that, we are. We are here to spread Love through the medium of Music. Our guiding principal is to take the ego out of music and unite people with Rhythm and Harmony - the Musician's tools. We respect all people, their cultures and the many different genres of music. Rooted in that respect and gratitude we merge all of our influences and inspirations in many different sounds. We are hard to categorize within the concept of a genre. One thing for sure you will find plenty of rhythm, improvising and poetry in our music drawing from Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk, Hip Hop, Reggae, Folk and Country. Much Love to all of the musicians who made it possible for us to be who we are.
Our Roots
We have played together over the past 25 years in a variety of different combinations but never this line up! Ryan "Multi D" and Jonas Pritzl started together back at the UW Platteville playing in The Green Situation and later Minglewood doing jam rock and originals. Jonas has kept busy since his GS days as a founding member of Baghdad Scub Review and Electric Spanking. He also performs with local band Mudroom. Ryan, Larry and Jamie first met together in local Madison Jam Band, Groovulous Glove. Larry has also played with Material Boys and Mexican Coke. Josh "Doogie" also has roots as a Plattevillian with ties to Multi D and Jonas including his own run with The Green Situation and a driver to the success the band saw touring across WI and the US. Multi D has played with a number of bands since The Glove including Logarithm, Vibe Syndicate, Full Watts and Mud Room. Special Thanks to all our Brothers and Sisters of the craft who have been by our side through these bands mentioned and every other side project, line up or jam that has been part of our musical journey's over the years!
Mad City Songwriters
We may play a cover or two in our sets but we are primarily an original band of songwriters. We have a long list of covers we've all played and happy to deliver a set of covers for any occasion you may have. Our heart is in creation and making new music that never existed before. Ryan, Larry, Jonas and Doogie have all written songs in previous acts but this is all FRESH! We continue to write with a focus around making connections. Meaning our songs are written to create a bond with the listener whether through the lyrics, the melody, the rhythm or the sheer power behind the song. Thus far our originals have been well received and we look forward to making a special event for you when you book us. If you would like a special song just let us know. We can play a cover or better yet write a new song for your special occasion! Let us know!
