About the Artist
Maddog & L.A. are a two man studio group who originally planned on doing no live dates.The two longtime L.A. based musicians left traditional rock behind in 200 and began working on their new style, relying heavily on loops, as well as live tracks, combined to create their unique sounds. Before forming the duo, both played in many southern California blues and rock groups, but they've finally found their true calling with the creation and release of "Acid Rain". Due to the immense reaction that this CD has received in pre-release, Maddog & L.A. will be forming a live group and hitting the road for a national tour in 2003.They have a big show planned for the world famous Roxy Theater in Los Angeles in the spring of 2003, with many special guests joining them on stage for a two hour extravaganza featuring the songs from "Acid Rain", as well as songs from their upcoming 2003 release "Acid Test". In 2003 they will also be remixing and remastering a CD entitled "Deface The Art", which is experimental electronica hip hop. This CD will not be for the weak of heart.
Album Description
"Acid Rain" is a truely unique CD that cannot be catagorized into any one certain genre.It's a combination of hardcore rock, hip hop, acid, trance, electronica, blues, jazz and DJ style, all wrapped up into one. Each song takes you on a different trip into the wonderland of music. The CD opens with "Holiday", a heavy song dedicated to the movie "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas". "And She Knows" and the title cut "Acid Rain" drift into a more standard rock style, but the excitement is still there. "Stickin' To The Walls", a heavy reggae dance tune, has already become a Rave favorite in Los Angeles, as has "Grandpa Is The Anti-Christ"."Oh, Come On" is another reggae song about the world situation today.There is only one cover song on the CD, A3's "Hypo Full Of Love" retitled here as "Shoot Me Up".Maddog & L.A. even showed the courage to include 2 instrumental tracks here, "Invert This!!" & "Skinny"."Crazy Eyes" is about Charles Manson and "Continental" offers thoughts! of moving to Paris. If you like Lupine Howl, Primal Scream or Death In Vegas, you'll love "Acid Rain", as it's a combination of all these styles rolled up into one.The material here speaks for itself and covers the musical gamut from one end to the other. Kait Kingston's backing vocals add just the right touch to make this CD a winner.
