I'm sure people are already familiar with former No Cash guys from PA/FL's project The Mad Conductor

I had a chance to book them down here in FL and it fell through. I hope they come through again b/c I think alot of people in our area would really dig them. What do you guys think? What do you think of No Cash?

Mad Conductor is such excellent music. I love listening to what little of their music that I have. Also, their bassist, Dan, was awesome and helped us load in and set up when we played together in Virginia Beach.

Unfortunately, their merch is retardedly overpriced, and every experience I've had with their vocalist has been negative. Maybe I just have something against super-pretentious musicians, but wow. He took it to the extreme.

Vocalist isn't very good, he's got nothing to be pretentious about.

he writes all the music though. at least that is my understanding. he's an excellent guitarist.

I'm usually not one to talk shit, but their vocalist was an extreme douche in all my dealings with him. Booking them was hands down the biggest pain in the ass I've ever encountered with a DIY band.

The music is decent, definitely original with some cool ideas, but that bad experience kind of ruins them for me. D-Ray from Fatter Than Albert was playing with them for awhile though, so they do get points for that.

Never really got No-Cash either, they always just struck me as a bad Choking Victim rip-off.

D-Ray is such a hunk!
