MAD CADDIES (Report - GALA HALA, Ljubljana, 02.07.2025.)
It was Wednesday evening, hot as hell, as we came to Ljubljana. GALA HALA/Summer stage and MAD CADDIES , it took me back in time! As the night was falling, the venue was getting crowded and just after 21:00h the lights from the stage lit up and the venue exploded! Mad Caddies are a ska, punk, dixie band from California, and are well known for their energetic gigs and sing a longs, but this one will outshine most of their shows (and I've been to so many over the years)! This time there were no bullshits, they were in such a good place and fun and sounded in sync! And the set list...oh, the set list was PERFECT!!! One hour and thirty minutes of pure happiness! One new, one from the DIRTY RICE ("Shoot Out The Lights"), and many from QALITY SOFT CORE and DUCK AND COVER , some from ROCK THE PLANK and JUST ONE MORE ... As Chuck said it - punks in Slovenia like the old stuff! And so do we in Croatia! "Distress", "Goleta", "The Bell Tower", ...
