MAD NOISE

“Best Band” by SF Bay Guardian Best of the Bay

The band got their name one fateful summer night in the alleyway beside City Lights Bookstore in North Beach. The bandmates were enjoying a 14 hour day of busking when a friendly neighborhood wino walking by yelled, “Y’all make MAD NOISE.” The crew embraced their new title immediately and four years later has been described as a hybrid of jazz and funk with a mixture of folk and a wide range of instruments all combined to give MAD NOISE an award winning sound. The band started their career by performing free shows at “The Church,” a secret spot on the UC Berkeley Campus, and from there moved to rooftops, graveyards, boats, back alleys, street corners and have since performed at Yoshi’s and the Great American Music Hall. MAD NOISE promises a mad-acoustic and energized performance.

“The ubiquitous, scandalously funky acoustic/jazz/punk ensemble that haunts the street corners and sidewalks from Berkeley to the Mission”. –SF Weekly
