The Mad & Happy Scene

I went almost 30 years thinking Rrthur (YES ladies, THAT Rrthur) had come up with my band name THE HAPPY SCENE just because the songs & me sounded so happy to be there, but in finally listening to this chat between us that was recorded to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Take My Teenage Head I'm as surprised as you people to find out part of the name was inspired by an old Brooklyn band, The Mad Scene:

Rrthur: There was a band around New York at the time Called THE MAD SCENE, it was one of those things where every time you picked up the Voice or whatever they’d be playing Brownie’s or The Continental or somewhere.
Xmastime: wow, I don't think I knew that.
