Mad Caddies

While often cited as part of California's Third Wave Ska scene, the Mad Caddies' sound is an eclectic brew that's rooted in ska, but also takes frequent detours into reggae, punk, pop, surf music, and even trad jazz. Fronted by lead singer and rhythm guitarist Chuck Robertson, the Mad Caddies came out of Santa Ynez, California in the mid-'90s, where they emerged after stints as Cracked Macaroni and the Ivy League.
