1.- Douglas had a knack for writing songs with hooks that could land whales whilst retaining a hardcore sentiment coupled with energy and emotion. Live performances were a frenetic mass of raw energy, chaos and positive belief in what they did, leading to slots on the Warped Tour and supporting Lostprophets on their 2003 UK tour. After their most successful headline tour to date, changing personal priorities lead to Douglas splitting up. Jamie from the band recently joined Boom In The Diamond Industry. They recently reformed for a one-off performance supporting thisGIRL at their last ever gig in Cardiff in January 2007.

2.- Chilean pop singer Douglas started getting involved in music at the age of 18, having the opportunity to get into show business in 1993 by participating in a music contest called Generaciуn 93 at local TV show Venga Conmigo. After signing up to Sony Music, his debut album, called Cariño Malo, was released, followed by Sigo Romantico, issued in April of 1999. The year after, Douglas was invited to perform at Viña del Mar's Festival in recognition to his talent and growing popularity. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

3. Douglas is a Pittsburgh, PA rock n' roll band currently revamping their style and sound. The band's line-up seems to be forever in flux, but current members include Jeff Bets, the brains behind the band as well as the lyricist, guitarist, and back-up vocals, Melissa Beall, lead vocals, and Chris Fazio, lead guitar, bass.
They have released one album, Yankee Bluegrass. "YANKEE BLUEGRASS showcases a sort of innocent gameness to try anything -- swingin' horns, three-chord rock, acoustic ballads, surfy guitar solos, even a little twang -- that's oddly affecting" “A free-and-easy romp through alt country and playful pop, punctuated by Jeff Bets’ old-timey harmonica... The music’s summery vibe should sound perfect right about this time of year”.

Mad
Douglas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They been drinkin’ all that whisky, they been drunk since noon.
There’s a bouncer standing at the door sayin’ come on in there’s room for more. It’s a mad, it’s a mad saloon.
Flyin’ chairs, a sonic boom
Makin eyes at the little girl with the sweet perfume.
There’s a biker in a fit of rage, ‘bout to drive his Harley on that stage It’s a mad, it’s a mad saloon
There’s a place where time stand stills Let your body do what it will.
I’ll be smilin’ and singing the tune,
Bonnie Sue is my cocktail dream.
Know I’ld buy the house a round just to watch her lean. There’s Alverati’s silver vial, he’s got the ladies all in single file It’s a mad, such a mad saloon.
There’s a place where time stand stills Let your body do what it will.
I’ll be smilin’ and singing the tune,
In the mad, mad saloon.
I need a piece, a piece of the action.
Life is a lease and I’m not drivin’ home. Where do you go to get some satisfaction? But tonight I ain’t gonna leave this bar alone.
There’s a place where time stand stills Let your body do what it will.
I’ll be smilin’ and singing the tune,
In the mad, mad saloon.
In the mad, In the mad saloon.
The lyrics of Douglas's song "Mad" depict a chaotic scene in a saloon where people are indulging in excessive drinking and unruly behavior.

The bouncer at the door encouraging more people to join implies that the saloon is constantly filled with revelers seeking a good time. The phrase "it's a mad, it's a mad saloon" captures the frenzied and exciting ambiance of the place.

These elements contribute to the overall sense of madness.
The chorus highlights the idea of a place where time stands still, where people can let go of their inhibitions and let their bodies do as they please. This suggests that the saloon serves as an escape from the constraints of everyday life and a release for those seeking freedom and self-expression. The singer mentions "smiling and singing the tune" in this mad saloon, implying that they find joy and comfort in this chaotic environment.
The final verse delves into the singer's desire for excitement and satisfaction. They express a need to be part of the action, feeling that life is passing them by. The decision to not leave the bar alone suggests a longing for companionship and a willingness to embrace the madness of the saloon, forsaking the mundane for a more exhilarating experience.
