04/16/2011 - Rasmussen College Student's band, The Mad Mad Ones, Debuts in Wausau at Glass Hat
Rasmussen College student, Paul Bender, has waited for this day for a long time.
The Mad Mad Ones officially became a band around April of 2010. The current lineup is:
Teddy Fox- Guitars and Lead Vocals
Paul Bender- Bass Guitar and Backup Vocals
Nick Bretl- Drums
(written by Paul Bender) The Mad Mad Ones came to be out of drummer Nick Bretl and Guitarist Teddy Fox's late night jam sessions. Nick and Teddy have been friends since they were kids, having lived next door to one another in Antigo, WI. After many jam sessions, Nick and Teddy started writing songs and made the decision to start a band. They were missing one very important piece-the Bass Guitar. Nick put up a Craigslist add looking for a bass player, which Paul Bender answered. After a few jam sessions with this new bass player, Bender, things started to fit. Finding the right Fit is very important with such a small and tight-knit group. Needless to say, Teddy, Nick, and Bender, have become good friends and play well together.
The Mad Mad Ones are not your typical Central Wisconsin band. In a scene dominated by Numetal bands, The Mad Mad ones are a breath of fresh air. They combine the best elements of rock, 1990's grunge, and indie rock into a powerful sonic assault. Cleaver lyrics, simplicity, and pure rock and roll drive combine to form a very listenable experience for the audience. Be sure to see The Mad Mad Ones at The Glass Hat, 1203 3rd Street, Wausau, This coming Saturday, April 16.
