Sweet Madness was honored and humbled to be given a full set of five songs on the
KEXP New Year's Eve northwest Audioasis new wave show hosted by Brian Foss.

Thank you KEXP for playing Sweet Madness songs.



Sweet Madness, Next Exit, 1981, spokane punk scene, new wave
In 1981 Sweet Madness made plans to leave Spokane and move to Seattle.
Lead guitarist Greg Morlan had been playing in regional bands since he was 16,
and he joined to replace keyboardist John Robison.

While Sweet Madness continued playing their last gigs, the new lineup rehearsed
a new more guitar-oriented sound. With the English ska band Madness breaking out,
Sweet Madness decided to combine the Seattle move with a name change
to Next Exit (out of Spokane).

Sweet Madness, Next Exit, Starlite Drive-In, spokane punk scene, new wave
Next Exit performed their first gig with the new name at a Drive-In Movie theater
where they played on the roof of the concession stand.
