Madcap has been very busy since the beginnings of November last year.

That month, he worked with a team of 25 people to film an amped up music video to act as the visuals for the debut single of his forthcoming EP. Having shot this video in Stokes Croft, Bristol, he then pursued the making of a promotional video to send to venues and agents across the UK.

"People always talk about 'capturing the live show energy' as if it's some untameable beast they're trying to cage. In seeking to do it myself, I realised it's the complete opposite. It's about focussing that live dynamic energy and power as much as possible while taming it as little as possible. Letting it be as wild and high energy as it truly is. This is what I set out to do for my show, and I feel I've captured it. Working with the right people played a huge part in that. A professional live show videographer, a professional editor, a big sounding recording and of course a stage-rupturing performance. Everything in one concentrated minute."

Madcap plans to use the video to promote his live show, booking performances throughout the UK and further afield as he builds to the release of his EP.

The video can be found here.

Meanwhile, Madcap has been setting his sights on creating the music video for what will become the second single of his EP. He’s keeping quiet about the concept of the visuals, but says it marries up with the metaphorical notions of the lyrics to serve as an enhancement to a storyline, rather than being one in and of itself.

Madcap has just competed in the grand finals of Bristol's biggest independent battle of the bands competition ran by Synthetica Events.

Speaking on the night, Madcap said:

"Last night was incredible. So many friends, family and fans, so many people screaming the lyrics back and building the atmosphere with me while jumping to the big beats we served up. The whole place felt electric"

Madcap rocked the stage for a half hour set with his live band. 600 people came to watch the event go down and the packed venue gave the perfect canvas to spread his sonic colours. Speaking on the competition results, Madcap said:

"Although me and the guys didn't take the top spot at the grand final, the opportunity to perform with great acts and rock the stage at the prestigious o2 Academy was a golden moment for us all. It's onward and upwards from here."

Catch Madcap performing his new material on the live circuit via his facebook events page.

Following an extensive meeting with a local, very talented director from Bristol, Madcap is currently preparing the music video for what will become his debut single from his forthcoming EP.

Although he's keeping relatively quiet about the project at the moment, he has confirmed it will be filmed in his local homotown of Bristol, UK and will be done in a single shot format, making use of the enviroment in various forms of interaction.

It may sound obscure, but he assures that it's a more straight laced and sharp witted video to be enjoyed by locals who recognise the sites and those further afield who appreciate the combined concepts of the video and music.

The filming is set to begin mid september, with more info coming soon.

Madcap has just been asked to perform a headline slot at the well-known venue of The Fleece, Bristol!

This follows a previous gig at The Fleece, which saw Madcap and his live band win the battle of the bands tournament in January.

The performance is set to be a super charged experience; one of which he's promised "...is not one you'll want to miss."

Date and Time: 16/06/2017 at 10pm

We look forward to seeing you there!

Madcap hit the studio today to record Friend or Faux, a rock/rap enthused track which was originally created as a sample-based, studio production. As of today it's been re-recorded to inject live band flair in to it's soul.

Quoting a recent review from Wordplay Hip Hop Magazine, this is a prime example of Madcap's "...high-octane, adrenaline charged tracks, administering an injection of real pace to the expression, whilst incorporating the electrifying and explosive nature of a true hedonist on a pleasure trip."

The recording will be used to promote the live show to booking agents, along with recent video footage of their show-stealing performance at the Fleece's battle of the bands event.

The track will soon be mixed and mastered and will be uploaded to this site as a healthy press kit punch!

Following the battle of the bands event last night, the audience subsequently voted Madcap as the winner with the majority of votes going straight to his debut performance with the live band!

Of the two songs performed during the event, the second song titled 'Addicted' was recorded on video and is available for viewing on this site. Be sure to watch it here.

Thank you to everybody who came to the event, and a big thank you to those who voted for Madcap to win. It's a sign of things to come, with doors already opening in to other performance opportunities around the Bristol music scene.

Madcap has just had his first performance booking confirmed at the Fleece Underderdog Event; a battle of the bands night whereby performers will have a 10 minute slot to demonstrate their work in front of the audience and industry judges.

The people will then vote for which of the 10 acts they think should win, based on a set criteria of sound quality, professionalism, audience interaction, song writing and more.

The winners receive a £200 cash prize and a guaranteed slot at a summer event this year.

Please come on down to watch the show on it's very first presentation.

If you are involved in the music industry and would like to watch Madcap for professional purposes, please use the contact page with further information so guest passes can be organised in advance.
