Mad Caddies — a ska on the horizon

Win a double pass to the ultimate ska party

Get ready for an extravaganza like no other, as the iconic band that gifted us unforgettable bangers such as Road Rash and Drinking for 11 is about to set New Zealand ablaze with their electrifying performance.

Brace yourselves as they unleash their legendary ska punk sounds that have left a lasting impact, having released six studio albums and sold over 500,000 records.

The Mad Caddies' diverse musical influences draw from a wide spectrum of genres, including ska, punk, hardcore, reggae, jazz, latin, polka, and even a sea shanty in Weird Beard. With such a rich musical palette, audiences are in for an enthralling journey that transcends boundaries and pushes the envelope of creativity.

Will they serve up such great tracks as Lay Your Head Down, Backyard, Leavin’, Villains, Shoot Out The Lights or Monkeys?

Or perhaps newer stuff such as Beautiful Bed?

Make sure to explore the band's latest gem, Punk Rocksteady, an album of captivating covers, meticulously crafted under the guiding hand of none other than the renowned Fat Mike from the legendary NOFX.

Presenting cherished classics with a fresh, invigorating twist that will leave you craving for more.

Look out for what we rate the best ever cover of a Green Day song in She.

Let’s not forget Bracket’s 2RAK005, Bad Religion’s Sorrow and Lagwagon’s Alien8 to name but a few of its 12 tracks, all given that inimitable Mad Caddies makeover.

Prepare to have your musical senses ignited. This extraordinary event promises to be a celebration of the artistry that has shaped the very fabric of ska punk history.

After 15 long years, the much-anticipated reunion of local outfit, The WBC, is finally happening.

Supporting Mad Caddies, with their unique blend of ska, reggae, and rock, fans can expect the same passion, energy, and infectious grooves that made the band a beloved crowd favourite all those years ago. Known for their highenergy performances, they were seen supporting Bad Manners and Reel Big Fish among others.

These two bands sharing the stage is not to be missed.

So why not give the one you love the ultimate ska punk rock gift for Christmas — a ticket to one of the upcoming Mad Caddies and WBC concerts.

Who knows what experiences will be had, what memories will be made?
