Mad is a hard rock band from Buenos Aires, Argentina. They debuted in 1997. Biography Formed in 1996, the band consists of Tomy Casparri (lead vocals), Diego Castelli (bass), Julián Méndez Morgan (guitar), Pelusa Suffloni (guitar) and Rodrigo Chaparro (drums). With a "sound of powerful and overwhelming rock" they began by playing in the local underground rock scene. They soon recorded their self-titled debut album 'MAD' which was released in 1998 and gained reasonable radio airplay having been well received by the critics. They were subsequently invited to play in several rock festivals organised by Rock and Pop FM and recorded two songs for a 4K Records CD compilation. In 2000 Mad was chosen by Eric Singer (former drummer of KISS) to support him for his KISS Exposition in Buenos Aires. In the same year they were chosen to play twice in Mar Del Plata city and also in Buenos Aires as the headlining act at a music festival organised by the national beer, Quilmes. In January 2001 Mad played to a crowd of 50,000 people in the Monsters Of Rock Festival opening for Iron Maiden, Rob Halford and Queens of the Stone Age at José Amalfitani Stadium. They also appeared in several shows at the club Cemento, widely regarded as the "temple of Argentine rock" having hosted many famous bands in Argentine rock history such as Redonditos de Ricota, Las Pelotas and A.N.I.M.A.L. The shows were excellently produced and during this time Mad were very much the "band of the moment". In mid-2001 they entered the "El Pie" recording studio to record "En Llamas" (In Flames), their second album. Produced by 4K Records/Sony Music the first single "Pajarito On The Rocks" soon became a big hit, for which a video was made. In 2004 the guitarist Nicolas Barreiro jumped into the new lineup, and the band recorded its third album "Seguí La Flecha" (Follow The Arrow) produced by Adrián Taverna (Divididos, Attaque 77, Redonditos de Ricota, Soda Stereo, Riff, Gustavo Cerati). From this album, several radio hits were born, like "La Rueda", "Imperdonable" and "El Postre", a song for which another music video was made starring Playboy Playmate Celina Rucci. A special electric/acoustic "unplugged" style show was recorded in December 2005 and in 2007 was released as a live album. They followed this show with a performance at the Cosquin Rock Festival held by San Roque lakeside in the
