    ........ .. .. .... ........ .... ..BIOGRAPHY.. ....This quartet from Rotterdam (The Netherlands) knows how to keep a beat. They started out playing Beat -or rather 'Biet', as they say in Holland- in 2005.

Try to hear the difference. The Madd had a toptwenty hitsingle in Holland with rapper (!) Dio. And played every major club and festival from the Lowlands festival to the Amsterdam Paradiso. .. ________________________________________________________ .. ..VIDEOS...... .. directed by Kees Patijn: .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. directed by Kees Patijn: .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... ...... .. .... ....
