About
Madllips is a cover band for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
Three musicians, years of bands behind them, and harmonies that carry the whole thing. Pat, Ken and Rick have been playing most of their lives, and MADLLIPS is what happens when they put that into a covers set. They're wireless, so they'll walk into the crowd instead of standing behind a monitor all night. A drum machine handles the back beat, which means they can be as big as a full band on a festival stage or dial the volume right down for a lounge room. Lighting, sound, lasers and smoke all come with them. Around 100 songs sit in the bank, from the Eagles and the Stones through to Blink 182, The Angels and Avicii. An hour to load in, more if there are stairs.
The show
Covers, and the volume is genuinely under control. A drum machine handles the back beat, which means the three of them can push it to full band size on a festival stage or wind it right back to something you can talk over in a lounge room. They've done both plenty of times. Lighting, sound, lasers and smoke arrive with them, the smoke mostly because it makes the lights look like something. And they're wireless, so don't be surprised when they end up out among your guests.
On the day
Small room or big one, they'll make it work. Give them a power point and they're set. Load-in and setup takes roughly an hour before they play, so build that into the timing. Stairs slow the whole thing down, so flag them early and give them longer, and a spare pair of hands never goes astray.
Song list
Everything from Eagles and Stones through to Blink 182, Angels and Aviici.
