Founding members Chuck Robertson, Sascha Lazor, Todd Rosenberg, Carter Benson and James Malis started the group in high school but the band's membership has changed frequently since its inception. Drummer Todd Rosenberg left the band in 1999, Benson left the band in 2002, and bassist Mark Iversen left the band in 2006. The current lineup consists of:
* Chuck Robertson (lead vocals/rhythm guitar/primary lyricist)
* Sascha Lazor (lead guitar/banjo/primary composer),
* Keith Douglas (trumpet/backing vocals)
* Ed Hernandez (trombone)
* Brian Flenniken (drums/percussion),
* Cris Badham (bass guitar).
The band used to play under the name The Ivy League, but in 1996 they changed their name after signing to the Honest Don's Records label to avoid confusion (and potential litigation) with two prior bands that went by the same moniker. The band's debut album, Quality Soft Core, was released the following year. After the release of the album, the band was signed to Fat Mike's label Fat Wreck Chords, through which the Mad Caddies have since released 4 studio albums, an EP and a live album.

L.G.'s
Mad Caddies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So difficult to say
You follow me around
You will not go away
You get into my car
And you expect a ride,
I want to go into a hole and hide
Oh what can we do
When we think of you
You call me in the morning
And you get me out of bed
I can not get your ugly face
Out of my head
You are not a woman
You are just a little girl
You're nowhere near
You're nowhere near the real world
Oh no
Oh what can we do
When we think of you
What we do
When we think of you
Why can't I have a real woman
Someone to watch over me
Someone to sit by my side
When I'm sleeping
I don't want anymore little girls
Coming around no more
I just want a real woman
Not a whore
Give me your heart
I just might break it
Give me your chance
I'm gonna take it
Give me chance
You throw me your love,
You give me what you've got
But I'm warning
The people have said enough
The lyrics to the Mad Caddies song L.G.'s are about a persistent and unwanted person who the singer is trying to distance themselves from. The song begins with the singer expressing frustration at how difficult it is to get away from this person, who follows them around and won't leave them alone. The person even gets into the singer's car uninvited and expects a ride, which makes the singer feel like they want to disappear.
As the song goes on, the singer is more direct about their dislike for this person, calling them an "ugly face" and stating that they are not a real woman, but just a little girl who is out of touch with the real world. The singer longs for a genuine relationship with an adult woman who can watch over them and be a partner in life, rather than being stuck dealing with a childish and persistent presence.
The repeated refrain of "Oh what can we do when we think of you" emphasizes the singer's frustration and helplessness in dealing with this person. Overall, the song is a commentary on the difficulties of trying to escape someone who is overly attached and won't take no for an answer.
