Mad Heads

Mad Heads is a Ukrainianpsychobilly band from Kiev well-known at Western Europe psychobilly scene.


History


It was back in 1991 when Vadim Krasnooky started the first neo-rockabilly/psychobilly band of Ukraine. The style was completely unknown there, so the guys felt like aliens with their quiffs, semi-acoustic guitar, double bass and stand up drum set. They were the aliens on a mission, and the mission was to spread new sound across their country and to bring it back to where it had come from, but with their own vision.
It took time and a few line up changes before Mad Heads became a band able to succeed with such a hard task, but since they were ready there was nothing to stop them. Their debut album “Psycholula” was out in 1996 on Crazy Love Records in Germany, while in Ukraine they were already a well known band: seen on TV, heard on radio, talked about in major press. They filmed a video to support their album, and it was actually rotated on the channel of national importance.
Soon after, Mad Heads started to tour abroad. They appeared 4 times at Rock’n’Roll Jamboree in Finland, 3 times at Calella Psychobilly Meeting in Spain, they rocked the halls of many festivals and clubs in Russia, Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Poland and Italy. They’ve been invited to the USA and only couldn’t make it because of some visa problems. They played the same stage with the most of their favorite bands of the scene while becoming the heroes for many younger acts.
The debut album was followed by “Mad In Ukraine” in 1998 and “Naked Flame” in 2002 (both out on Crazy Love Records) which brought the acknowledgment for Mad Heads of being #1 band of the scene in Eastern Europe and with no doubt an outstanding act of the 90s psychobilly generation. In Ukraine, they simply become a rock’n’roll legend, so they decided to do even more for their local fans and in 2003 was released the album “Contact'” with all the songs in the mother languages (the first 3 albums were in English). This record was out on local EMI sub-label Comp Music.
In 2004 the guys felt that their mission was complete. Their music was changing throughout the years, and now they had to face the fact that it didn’t fit psychobilly scene anymore. So they took it even further, doubled the line up with 3-piece brass section and mixed up their older sounds with skapunk and some Ukrainian folk. The new project called Mad Heads XL became a smashing success in Ukraine, so it was decided to quit as a trio for an indeterminate period.

Hello Slapy,

Impressionnant ta doc, je ne pensais pas qu'on pouvait trouver autant de truc ..

Hello Gigi,

J'ai bien lu ton avis que je partage à moitié..

Citation :

j'ai écouter la vidéo,il manque quelque chose pour être
du psycho.

Il sonne d'avantage néo rockabilly qu'early psychobilly, sans doute à cause de la slap moins prononcée..
Par contre les thèmes de leur chansons sont en général bien psycho

difairament que eux.

Les Batmobile n'ont jamais été considérés comme des néo rockabs, mais comme des psychobillys, à cause du son de leur slap énorme, de leur son de guitare avec de la réverb, de la façon de chanter assez urgente, et des thèmes de leur chansons..

Oui effectivement la vidéo fait paraitre les Mad Heads plus soft que les batmobiles.
Etre dans la lignée ne veut pas dire copie conforme..Ils se rapprochent des Batmobiles par certains aspects

Quel album as tu des Batmobiles?

Au plaisir de te lire

a mon avis c'est de la soupe,pour ne pas dire de la m....
