Jakarta, Indonesia
Mad Madmen are a Jakarta based musical duo formed in 2018. The band consists of Kalam Mahardhika (Guitar/Vocals) and Marvin Muhammad (Bass/Vocals). The musical dynamic of Mad Madmen plays upon elements of dualism between Kalam’s more funk, groove, and rhythm oriented compositions and Marvin’s more chordal, textured, and melodic compositions through which they have developed together over years of friendship.
Having released 1 full length album (Mental Breakdance), 1 EP (Ego Friendly), 1 collaborative EP (Mad Madmen Shoebox Sessions), and 5 singles (Mad Mad Woman, Cold Turkey, 5’s & 7’s, B.K.B/Kalamazoo, and Kobe) Mad Madmen’s repertoire make a point of not wanting to abide to any certain genres and instead heavily emphasize on narrative context that are near and dear to the members, and elements of surprise throughout their songs such as sudden key and tempo changes, and abrupt shifts in nuance.
