The Mad Tubes are a quartet from Milan who play great Rock’n’Roll deeply based on blues influences. Rockabilly and country are also often involved creating a unique and explosive groove. The fact that there is not just one lead vocalist in the band allows for a variety of music and makes the live performances even more enjoyable for the audiences.

Two members of the Hot Tubes, Max Pierini and Davide « DiceDado » Bianchi, formed the Mad Tubes in November 2008 when their band was booked for a country and rock’n’roll gig, which was very different from the typical 50’s blues music that the Hot Tubes usually played.

The gig ended up being a huge success and the two musicians had a lot of fun, so they decided to keep playing that kind of music. Eventually, drummer Laurent « Le Mapo » Mapelli was added to the combo, consolidating the groove of the band which they describe as « Rockin’ Roots », hence the title of the album recorded in the VINTAGE ROOTS RECORDS studio. « Rockin’ Roots » was produced and distributed in March 2010 by the Spanish label « EL TORO RECORDS ». The Mad Tubes meet a amazing saxophonist, Piergiorgio « Mr. PJT » Elia, was 2011… Who, in October of the same year, he joined the band.

With the band now complete the road ahead becomes downhill. The MaD Tubes in 2012 release for the Vintage Roots Records label their second work titled « Oh More. » The album achieved great success both with the public and critics. Many reviews from magazines were all extremely positive.

With this work the 4 guys take their deserved place as one of the most important bands of the rock and roll movement. Following their second album, they get numerous appearances in several international festivals, including: Winter Jamboree 2011, Summer Jamboree 2005-2009-2010-2013, Vintage Roots Festival 2009-2010-2011-2012, Motorcycle Gang Jamboree 2011, Truck’in Festival (Perrigny sur the sur l) 2011, 2011 River Blues, Rockabilly Bombardment (Hohenems) 2011, Rockabilly Showdon 2012, Twist’n’Shout 2012-2013, Sun Rock Festival 2012, Big Rhythm Rumble (Neu Ulm) 2012, Roxy (Ulm) 2012, Funstastic Carnival (Benidorm), 2013, Ubangi Stomp (Benidorm) 2013.

Since 2011, the MaD Tubes, working in parallel with the project and the Miss T MaD Tubes. A musical reality, absolutely rhythm and blues. The project is achieving excellent results especially after the release of the album « She’s That Gorgeous » with the Vintage Roots Records label, which has seen the extraordinary participation of well-known saxophonist Big Jay McNeely. The presentation of this early work coincided with the participation of Miss T and the MaD Tubes at the Summer Jamboree 2013.

The two projects are traveling parallel, both different, but still equal, as they are getting great response at international level. My friend …

Remember what happened at the end of the 50’s, when different American musical cultures and races finally started to combine and live together? That is the MAD TUBES. So it doesn’t matter if you are a man or a woman, white or black, young or old…just stand up and start to dance, close your eyes and start to swing.
