Details:
In 9th grade Happy and Vic started Sic & MAD to impress Mimi. Happy met Marcus, the bass player, through his good friend Catherine (Marcus is her older brother) when Happy was in 11th grade. When Happy and Vic went to college Vic joined The Raybees (a very cool ska influenced band). When they broke up he recruited Marcus to join The Slackers. Vic used to go out with Dunia. Dunia used to sing with The Slackers. When they broke up, she started her own band called Agent 99. Their drummer was Ara. Happy recruited Ara to play in Sic & MAD. Recently, when The Slackers needed a new drummer they recruited Ara from Sic & MAD.
Sic & MAD were way ahead of their time with this intense CD. No one before them had mixed Punk, Ska, and Reggae quite like this. Many bands since then have tried, but can never come close to the type of honesty you get from a Sic & MAD performance. This is pure, straightfoward musical expression, with nothing being held back.
Featuring Vic Ruggiero, Marcus Geard and Ara Babajian of the Slackers with guest appearances by King Django and many others!
