Put "Mad Habit" in google sometime. There's some pretty wacky sh*t that comes up (other than mp3 sites that we're on).

We do play live, mostly around southern California, though we do have a couple of shows in Memphis Tennessee that some high school students working with a couple of other organizations were nice enough to set up for us.

We don't give this internet thing more than a year or two. Like, does anyone out there actually visit websites, or use "email?" We think it will die the same quick death as mobile phones and ATMs.
Seriously, the internet is great for unsigned bands like us. We got those Memphis shows (above) just because some students happened to run across some of our mp3s on the web. The internet makes the world a much smaller place, and gives independent artists like us a chance to get their music out to a lot of people.

We would, but our whole philosophy about it has changed. Two years ago, we'd have done anything to sign with a major label. Now we actually look forward to promoting ourselves through independent channels and doing whatever the hell we want artistically. And we never want to have to wear some lame neckties or something just because it's trendy and some label thinks they'll improve our image. [Please ignore the last sentence if we're ever signed to a major label and appear in a press shot wearing neckties.]

Mad Habit formed as a three-piece band in the spring of 2001 -- mainly for the purpose of entertaining ourselves in our bass player's garage. In the beginning, our sound was a sort of fusion of progressive hard rock and acid jazz, and we literally had no two songs that sounded like they were even in the same genre. Then a friend gave us the crazy notion that we ought to play for other people and record what we were doing. In the process of playing out and doing some recording, we got a little more serious, honed our style a bit, survived several lineup changes, and started to make our mark on the local music scene. Since releasing our first recordings in late October, 2003, we've been the featured artist on 6 different mp3 sites (including Kings of A&R), received some radio airplay, and have been added to the soundtracks of two independent films.

Incubus, Jane's Addiction, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, Tool, A Perfect Circle, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, U2, Rush...basically anything with groove, and anything that's artistically rich enough that you'll still find something cool about the song after 50 listens.
