Mad Collective Connection (MCC)

Mad Collective Connection are a Gold Coast reggae band whose core five come from Sierra Leone, Scotland and Jamaica. Mystic fronts on vocals and works the crowd, Dom brings the bass vocals and a James Brown swagger, Zodiac lays down the guitar skank that holds reggae together, Abi keeps the bass steady and swinging, and Stanley runs sound and lighting. Two published albums give them close to two hours of original material, with a library of more than 250 songs behind that, and when a crowd wants the familiar stuff they'll turn in a set of the Bob Marley classics. The line-up scales up or down to fit the venue. Their own desk, PA and lighting handle rooms of around 250, and on bigger stages they'd rather run through the house system. Setup takes about an hour.
