Suggs and Woody appeared on Sky Sports Soccer AM show on Saturday morning. A clip of Sorry was played and presenter Tim asked how the young rappers became involed. Suggs was reading that Sway thought "Driving in my Car" was a great song when he was growing up and he liked Madness and Suggs found this odd with Sway being a rapper. He quipped "I asked him was he sure it wasnt 'Drive By in My Car' but no it turns out he grew upin Muswell hill."Tim asked why they felt ready now to do new "original" material after 1999's Wonderful. Woody made a claim that the band move in 7 year cycles. Woody explained the recent Dangermen history and how it was enjoyable and reminded the band what fun it can all be and it made them ready to start again with new tracks. Talking about new material they said they have 1/2 an album ready.
Talking about the Madstock Concerts the Earthquake story got another mention. Suggs explianed how 36,000 dancers during One Step Beyond "some of them overweight", caused tower blocks to move. They then displayed a top ten of earthquakes on screen showing the force of a small scale atomic bomb to be slightly less than 4.5, Ranking Madstock, just underneath the Nagaski bomb. Suggs said he had never felt so Proud.
Asked if another Madstock was going to happen. Woody and Suggs said they had thought of doing one in disguise, further explaining they had wanted to do a McMadstock in Scotland and a Padstock in Ireland. Which Suggs quickly renamed Oh Madstock as he thought Padstock was a little patronising, but Woody seemed a little sullen that the joke name wasnt going to be used. Suggs then explained how Madness talk alot but turning those ideas into actions is often harder and claimed they have been thinking about doing another Madstock since 1992. So we continue to wait...
