#20: Mad Caddies

Drinking for 11, that's just what I do. When I'm not with you my heart goes to bed

Kicking off the top 20 are the Mad Caddies, who for some reason hate touring on the East Coast

Wiki Says: The Mad Caddies (or the Caddies) are a third wave ska band from Solvang, California. The band formed in 1995 and has released five full-length albums, one live album, and two EP's. The Mad Caddies sound has influences from broad ranging genres including ska, punk, hardcore, swing, pop punk, reggae, jazz, Spanish, polka, even rockabilly ("Crew Cut Chuck") and sea shanties ("Weird Beard").

Maybe one day the Caddies will tour over here on the East Coast. Until then, I'll just have to enjoy their music recorded...which is very good.
