Jimmy, our next guests are a team for you. They are a team for UW Badgers, but not football.
Jimmy, this is a team of singers called the UW manhatters. There are 14 piece male Acapella
group that started at the University of Wisconsin in Madison in 1997. And since the group, known
for their zany antics and red jackets, have performed at the White House for then president Obama,
Governor Tony Evers, and even a performance in Lambo field. But tonight, the talented vocal group
featuring featuring a beatboxers and will for the first time perform on live radio right here
in the layer on Maxine Gradio UW manhatters. Welcome to Maxine Gradio.
Thank you so much for having us. I like to point out first before we get going. You all have the
record for the most people in the civic media studio at one time. Let's go. Congratulations.
So does the manhatter name have anything to do with the bar that used to be on University Avenue?
Yeah, it actually does. So back in the day, back in 1997, the original members of the group were
frequent patrons of the madhatter, which is now Danny's for those of you who are wondering.
Yeah, so we still try to go there when we can, but it's really cool. A really cool way to unite
that unite the group with that original and original experience.
Well, I remember that place back in probably the 80s. And one of the interesting things was that
stereo video was just coming on at that time. And at the end of the night at bar time,
their end of the night song was the Jetsons. They were playing on the video and in all the stereo
and stuff. And by that time, you know, you were somewhat inebriated. So you know, it was it was
quite daunting to hear, you know, the Jetsons. You guys are taking rocker at the manhatter.
Yep. Yeah. Yeah. 80s and Madison, baby. This is great. Well, from the 80s,
jump back to the 90s. So you guys, I mean, that was a while ago. I'm assuming it was a few
different fellows than you guys. So there's got to be some backstory to this group. So if you could
give us a little bit of your history. And what does it take to keep a group like this together
for so many years? Yeah. So we've been around for, you know, 26, 27 years. And we have a great
alumni presence. Like you said, we've had a lot of iterations of this group. But one thing that's
nice is like not much has changed with headers. We have done a good job of kind of preserving
the tradition and culture of the group. So not much has has changed throughout the years. But to
keep the group together, you know, everyone, everyone here loves music is looking for an outlet
in their college lives because a lot of us aren't music majors. So looking for some way to keep
music in our lives. And I think that acapella is a really fun way that we've all kind of chosen.
And it's also a really good way to make friends and find a community. Well, what are the requirements
to be in the group? I mean, are there age limits? Do you have to be UW member or graduate student?
I mean, how does somebody join this group? So yeah, there are a few requirements. You have to be a UW
undergrad, which casts out a few people graduate students. They always age limit. We always appreciate
that. Male voices is also a requirement. So if you're singing a tenor or baritone or bass style
voice, that is what we are looking for in this group. And we look for people that have fun,
honestly, because we are looking for people that want to come come with us on all these different
gigs, have a lot of fun, go to different towns. Come here. Come here. What are tryouts like?
I mean, that that time, I'm sure you that's something you guys do every year, right?
Yeah, so we do auditions once per semester. So one in the fall, one in the spring. And yeah,
it's be a fairly high bar, but you know, we're we're looking for a good voice and a good fit with
the group. So wow, that's that's really incredible. Well, let's get to some live music here in the
layer with the UW manhatters presented by the Aaron Weber group. The first song that you have for us
tonight is called Mr. Blue Sky. And it features one of your freshmen's. Tell me about this song. And
who is your lead vocal on this? Yeah, so it's this song is kind of funny for the seniors. And I,
so we did this song, our freshman year. And it was one of the first things we learned. And we had
a ton of fun with it. And then it's really cool that then when we're seniors, we get to see a
freshman now having a lot of fun with it. And the soloist on this is our freshman Owen Schultz.
Owen, where's your hand?
Where are you? Nice.
Hello, Owen. Glad to have you here.
All right, it's the UW manhatters on Maxine Curredio.
Mr. Blue Sky, Mr. Blue Sky, Mr. Blue Sky, Mr. Blue Sky,
Mr. Blue you did it right. But soon comes Mr. Dye creeping over now his hand is on your shoulder
That's it, but he's at your back right now.
Mr. Blue Sky, Mr. Blue Sky, Mr. Blue sky, Mr. Blue Sky
Mr. Blue Sky, Mr. Blue Sky, Mr. Blue Sky
Very nice, the UW-Madders live in the layer here on Maxine Cradio, Civic Media, 844-967-2789-844-96 party.
Call or text and ask the band a question. They'll be happy to entertain it.
Oh, that was amazing. The vibration in the room from all these voices singing at the same time,
what a treat. And that was just the first one. We did.
For sure. Wow.
All right, who's up?
Well, we're going to do question number four and I'm going to pass it over to KJ here, Jimmy.
Yeah, so the vocal arrangements for these songs are clearly very complex and you guys just nailed it.
So how do you go about choosing a song and why do you choose certain songs and then how do you
take the parts that are usually sung and turn them into vocals? Yeah, it's a very tough process
because a lot of music coming out today doesn't really fit to just voices. You hear a lot of crazy
instruments going on. We have to make it work with just voices and you have to make it interesting
and fun to listen to. So it's hard choosing a song. You have to choose one that easily kind of maps
onto voices, whether that's the guitar part or the piano part and somehow make the chords fit
to vocal lines and just various parts. A big technique that I like to use when I'm arranging
songs is look at source material. What exists out in the world right now? Is there a cover of the song
where people already kind of did similar things and just take inspiration from a bunch of
different places? I definitely appreciate the beatboxer given the rhythm. I like that.
It's a great touch in an Acapella group. Is that common? Yeah, I mean, you really do need it to
keep that energy up. If you don't have that beat going on, then what's the difference you
from just a bunch of guys singing on the street? So a talented beatboxer, one that can kind of keep
that energy going and make a beat that kind of sounds like the original song is a huge part of
Acapella. And who's doing give the drummer some tonight? Who's doing your beatboxer?
Our very own Jacob Homes doing our beatboxing today. Let's take a bit over here.
Yeah, Jacob. Woo. Nice. He was moving around too when he was doing it. Like, you know,
they're getting into it. Well, let's get back to some live music in the
layer with UW-Man Hatters presented by the Aaron Weber group. The next song you have for us
tonight is a classic song. For more than 50 years ago, it's called Rockin Robbins. It's
made famous in 1958 by David Day. Why Rockin Robbins? I think like you said, it's just a classic.
I mean, this is just one of those songs. I think when people think Acapella, they think,
oh, you guys should probably do Rockin Robbins. Yeah, we already know that one. So yeah,
this is one of our favorites. We try to whip it out as often as we can.
All right, let's hear it. UW-Man Hatters live in the layer on Maxine Gradio. We are local music.
1, 2, 3.
Trillity-llity. Trillity-illity. Trillity-llity. Trillity-illity. Trillity-illity. Trillity-illity. Trillity-illity. Trillity-illity. Trillity-illity. Tweet-trillity.

Very nice. How awesome. The UW-Batter's Live in the Lair here at Massive Civic Media.
844-967-2789. 844-967-6. If you want to call and ask a question.
Jada is on the line right now. Good evening, Jada. Where are you calling from?
I am calling from Madison.
Calling from Madison? Think cause we're calling. What's your question for the UW-Batter's?
My question is first off. You guys sound great. Second of all, I was wondering if you guys had a concert this spring in the Massinaria
cause I'd love to see you guys perform live.
Well, hi Jada. Nice to see you. We do have a concert. It is April 27th.
26th. 26th. 26th at Masonic Temple in Madison.
Okay, great. How can I find tickets for that?
We have them posted on our website as of today. It is UW-Madison.org. You can find them all over that website.
All right. Okay, great. Thank you.
Jada, thanks for calling Maxine. Appreciate it. 844-967-2789.
All right. So we know when they're coming back. That's great.
So obviously we got the whole group here, but we have these two gentlemen here on the microphone who are answering most of the questions.
Emmett Milligan? Yes.
And you're...
I'm Acero.
Okay, great. So like, are you the leaders? Is there a leader?
Like, how does the logistics of this work? How do you guys decide what pizza to order with so many of you?
Oh, the pizza question. That is a tough one.
Well, the group is handled by a... something we call our Jedi Council.
It's kind of like our executive board, and that changes up every semester.
We have just total new elections, anyone who wants to have one of those positions can run, and then we vote as a group.
Like most other clubs, myself, I'm the music director, but that changes every year.
Acero to my left here was the former music director.
And yeah, the groups, the roles in the group really, really vary.
I think all of us get a chance in that council at some point.
Okay.
Well, let's see here. Being on the road with 14 people is always a challenge.
Tell us an interesting or funny story from the road.
Oh, God. Okay. So here we go.
He's got a good one.
So we were on our way to Ashwabanan, your green Bay.
Yes.
And our business manager at the time, I'll leave him anonymous so he doesn't get too embarrassed.
Yeah. No liable.
Yeah, yeah. Who knows?
Yeah, so we were on the way and he had mixed up the times and we,
we may or may not have been three or four hours too late for our sound check.
Oh, no.
Because he mistreated an email.
So we showed up. We did get there on time.
We did perform. Everything ends up working out.
They were very accommodating, very flexible.
But you know, there was that moment in the car where he's like, guys were four hours late.
So we had to work with the cars we had.
And you let him stay in the band.
Yeah.
Yeah, we did.
We for the most part is still in.
Okay. Okay. Good.
Well, like, yeah.
So like what happens in the car when like you're, you've taken the wrong directions.
Oh, yeah.
Taking the wrong turn.
Time's about 20.
Yeah.
What was your, what was your road trip to DC like playing for President Obama?
Unfortunately, that was a little before our time.
A little before your time.
A little before my, my choir teacher actually was on that trip.
And he's around 30 now.
So it's a, that was a ways back in the group.
I hope to some, at some point, get back up out there though.
Yeah.
The current glory, Jimmy, is playing in the radio for the very first time.
I was just going to ask other than playing here tonight, what, what's probably the most special trip you've been on so far?
Well, the one I'm most excited about is we're actually going to Nashville this semester.
And just a couple of, couple of months here in April.
We were taking a trip out to Nashville.
And we will be talking about it later.
But yeah, that, that one I'm very excited for.
Well, let's get back to live music in the layer with the UW Man Hatters presented by the Aaron Weber group.
The next song you have for us tonight is called Pure Imagination.
Is this a song about what happened when Grandpa Joe got out of bed?
Uh, you know, maybe a little before my time.
I don't even, I don't even understand, but, but.
You haven't seen the movie.
No, I haven't read the book.
Roll doll.
I watched it when I was in like second grade, but I forgot a lot of it.
Oh, okay.
I know what just came up with our fuse to watch it.
Oh, okay.
All right.
But, but this next song I'm very excited for.
I do love this song, Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka.
And yeah, this one was very fun to arrange for me because I,
there's so many different beautiful versions of this song out there on the internet.
And I had to draw a lot of different, you know, inspiration from those sources.
And I came up with this.
So you guys let me know what you think.
We will.
We already love it.
All right. Well, for those who don't know, right?
Charlie and his grandpa and all of his grandma and grandpa's, they stayed in the same bed.
They never got out of bed.
And when Charlie won the ticket to go on the tour of the chocolate factory,
he had to bring some women.
He had to bring a, you know, a parent, but it was Grandpa Joe.
Who sprung just got out of bed for the first time and who knows how long?
He's cured.
I got to watch that movie later tonight now.

What about like a what about like former people that have sung in UW Mad Hatters?
Do they ever come back as a reunion show by chance or oh yeah well every every once in a while we try to have some some sort of reunion show.
Just two years ago we had our 25th anniversary that was a huge deal for us.
We tried to get alumni from all over the country that spread out over 25 years to come back and see that show.
So that was really huge.
Besides that we do a lot of things just throughout the semester that our alumni involved.
We always try to have a few outings maybe we'll be go bowling or go out to a bar.
And then before our shows we always try to get critiques from our alumni because we always want to we always want to learn from our elders.
We will be your alum.
There you go.

844-967-2789-844-96 party.
Let's take one more call before we get back to the program.
Hi, who's this?
I'm Hazel.
Hi there.
Where are you calling from tonight?
Hazel, right?
Hazel.
Hazel.
Hazel from Eagle?
New Holstein.
New Holstein.
New Holstein.
Awesome.
What's your question tonight for the UW Mad Atters?
What is Alex Smith's favorite song to perform?
Did you guys catch that?
What does Alex Smith's favorite song to perform?
Alex Smith.
Well, he recently got a solo for the next song we're doing.
Not here, but in our concert coming up in the spring.
We're singing Brown Night Girl.
He recently got the solo in that.
So I'm sure he's hyped to sing it.
It's his first full song, so I believe.
I believe so.
There you go.
Thank you so much for calling.
Appreciate you listening to Maxine Gradio tonight.
Okay.
But it's Molly.
Just love it.
How fun.
Let's get back to live music in the layer with the UW Mad Atters,
presented by the Aaron Weber group.
The next song you have for us tonight,
it's another classic called Dancing in the Moonlight.
Is this just another love song about werewolves?
Yeah.
So this song is really fun to learn.
Because of all those moving parts that you hear in the original song
with that synthy piano.
And like I was talking about earlier with the ranging,
mapping those onto vocals was a real challenge for this one.
But once we locked in that structure,
this one became one of our favorites to sing.
Let's check it out right now.
You're live in the layer on Maxine Gradio,
presented by the Aaron Weber group, move to Madison.com.
It's the UW Mad Atters on Maxine on Civic Media.
Now look on that hold really well.
Let's all go for a look right now.
Tired of being speechless eyebrow.
But when even I felt like doing something right on Miku,
something that I didn't like.
It was scene of light,
anxiety, hard drive,
pain, stress, time,
anxiety is a process of bringingroot to our body.
It's now really to live quietly on the subject.
Natural psyched us.
Everybody's dancing in the morning.
Like a fun and we never find you.
But you can't dance.
Stay up tight.
It's a super burnack and jump.
Roll the light.
Watch it.
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight.
Dancing in the moonlight.
Everybody's feeling warm and bright.
It's such a jump.
Finding natural psyched us.
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight.
We get it almost every night.
When our moon gets so big and bright,
it's a super natural road to light.
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight.
Dancing in the moonlight.
Everybody's feeling warm and bright.
It's such a jump.
Finding natural psyched us.
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight.
Dancing in the moonlight.
Everybody was.
Wow.
We need to have a large studio audience.
There's no room.
We do.
It's called the state of Wisconsin.
Okay.
Your name again.
The solo.
I did that.
Christian.
Christian.
Did you all hear him just like.
Yeah.
So into it at the end there.
That was just fantastic.
Every time he's a pro.
That was.
That was great.
Thank you so much for that.
Wow.
That was too.
I'm speechless.
Hey, speaking about heading out on the road.
You guys were talking about it a minute ago.
In April, the manhanders are headed to Nashville
to sing with the Vanderbilt Melodors.
Tell us about the trip in the concert you're playing
in Vanderbilt Melodors.
Is that like a car?
Yeah.
So they are not a car.
It is another rock pelagroup just like us.
I'd even say a bit more famous one than us.
They've got a lot more famous.
A lot more famous.
A lot more.
So we're really excited to perform with them.
We think it'll be a really good opportunity for our group to get out of the Wisconsin scene
a little bit.
See the wider world.
It's also just going to be a really fun time we plan on going out a lot, seeing a lot
of live music.
Like that is I think our main goal.
Hopefully this time we don't have any issues with our call time and we get there on time,
though.
How many vehicles do you guys bring out on the road for?
For your crew?
Oh, typically we pack three real tight.
With somebody strapped to the top.
Oh, yeah, usually.
So that's great that you're going to Nashville, but we're much more excited about the stuff
that you're doing right here in the state of Wisconsin.
And you got a big show coming up in Green Bay just this coming Saturday.
So it's the the Ashwana.
Ashwavana.
Ashwavana.
Thank you.
So I'm guessing this is not a dive bar.
It is not a it is not a dive bar.
We're performing at their performing arts center.
But we would never turn down a karaoke night at a dive bar.
Those are our bread and butter.
Oh, I love it, man.
A little blue collar.
And then let's see.
March 8th.
You're at Adam's friendship at the fine arts center up there, which is another great dive
bar, right?
Oh, another another great one.
Wow.
That's really incredible.
You guys have a great tour coming up and a whole lot more shows as well.
We'll be talking about later.
Well, let's get back to live music in the layer with the UW Man Hatters presented by
the Aaron Weber group.
The next song you have for us tonight.
It's called Good Night Sweetheart.
But this ain't your last song.
Tell us about this one.
Well, we always say this is our last song.
Little inside inside secret.
This is always our last song.
Quote on Quote.
And then we whip out a little a little.
Long core action.
Long core action.
Nice.
So if you ever if you ever see us live, expect that.
I don't tell.
Don't tell.
Don't tell anyone.
But this one is real special.
Dust.
It is our chance to highlight some of our younger guys in the group that maybe haven't gotten
as many solos yet.
Fortunately, our only freshman.
He'll be featured first on this song.
He already has a solo.
So he is he is in the in the starlight.
But this is our chance to really honor them.
All right.
The UW Man Hatters are live in the studio.

Fortunately, there are no secret codes
And I realize I may have messed up our URL earlier
So I will just correct that here
It is uwmadhatters.org
And
Madhatters uw.org
I got my eyes in the back correct me
Madhatters uw.org
And there are no secret codes, all you got to do
Put in that URL, you will find the tickets, no problem
Have you guys ever played at the Masonic Center before?
We have not
Real excited to see it, I went there as a kid for tutoring and such
So it would be the first time I've been in that building since I was probably seven years old
But yeah, we're really excited, it's really cool
It's kind of a crazy place to see a concert
Sometimes they do concerts in the round there
So I don't know if you guys are planning on playing in the round where the audience surrounds you
That would be pretty cool
I guess we'll find out on the day if you want to see if we're doing it on a round
Come out on the 27
I've never been inside the Masonic Temple
Really?
It's a very kind of old classic theater
And it's built kind of where they have seats all around the stage
And then there's a formal stage at the end too
So they can kind of really be flexible but yeah
They hold concerts, Steely Danes played there
Yeah, I know Joey's, Joey B. Banks has mentioned that he's played there
April 27th, that might be the first time I get to see inside the Masonic Temple
Oh yeah
Can't think of a better reason
Here's kind of an off the cuff question
What do you do with Acapella beyond the Acapella, beyond UW-Bad headers
Like going forward in your musical careers?
Well, like I said, for a lot of us we aren't like music majors of any sort
I think we have one music education major
But a lot of us aren't pursuing music for a career and that's why
Matt Hatters is so big for all of us
I think one of us is doing theater back there
Christian was waving at me
You're doing theater, Christian?
Yeah, yeah
But a lot of us will look to join choirs of any sort after college
I think that's a very common way that a lot of us will do it
Community choirs, I myself make music on the side
You can post music too, right?
Yeah, well, yeah, I don't want to show myself up too much but I do do that on the side
All right
What's using credible is, I mean, do we ask this question?
Is there like an official charter?
Is there like an official sort of organization that like keeps it going or
Or is it always what is current is sort of just holding the torch?
You know what I mean? Like, I mean, is there a formal
Place where like articles of organization exist?
We do have our group constitution
That kind of does that job for us but really the group changes
With new members, you know, whoever comes in whatever direction
They want to take that group, that's kind of where it goes, those four years
But that's a really cool thing, it always evolves with the time, evolves with the campus
So it's like up to you guys all right here to really kind of keep it going
And those who come in next year will have the same duty
Yep, that is right
Wow, it's a pretty great organization, I really give you guys a hands up
You know, I think we got a little more time, don't we?
We have 10 minutes here
Before you do your grand finale, is there maybe another song that we could
Throw you guys on the spot to do?
I can beatbox the Jeopardy tune
He's really good at it
He's really good at it
They're thinking about it right now
I see the wheels turning
All right, so took us a second to brainstorm, but we got it
We're going to pull out that we did at Mineral Point just a couple of weekends ago
This is amazing by Rex Orange County
Wow, UW Madhatters, we've gotten three bonus songs out of these guys tonight
Super thankful for that, appreciate that
UW Madhatters Live on MaxingCradio
I don't mind
The timing and where you may find it
It's unknown until then
You're a loner
So you see her, she's over
In the corner
And I can't ignore her
There must be reason
To see it, believe it now
Ginger, ginger, ginger, I'm afraid
Should you see my eyes
Who's going to save me now?
I hope it's you, my babe
Don't change the thing you want me to tell you
I can't believe you come and save me
Because then you spread every day
I don't mind
Don't change the thing you want me to tell you
I can't believe you come and save me
Because then you spread every day
I don't mind
She's over
In the corner
And I can't ignore
There must be reason
To see it, believe it now
Ginger and ginger, ginger, ginger, ginger, ginger, ginger, ginger, ginger, ginger, ginger, ginger, ginger, ginger mil
With the www.Bad Hatters, he loves it. He loves it. He loves it. That's his final answer there. Who
Who are here on the band saying Queen in the bathtub when there were five?
Everyone is like...
All hands go up.
Everybody did. Okay. Well, and then let's see here, that was from the eight four or from the
Another question that said, question from a long time famed
Jimmy. Is it true that the Mad Hatters have performed at the White House twice?
It is true. It was two consecutive years, I believe, in 2011 and 2012, we were there.
And yeah, two Christmas parties in a row. Pretty fun. Dang.
And then Carol's listening in the four or one four here. Carol's listening,
how do you balance doing this and your studies at the same time, without going crazy?
Yeah, it's pretty tricky at times and it all depends on the individual member.
But I think we all have to do a close little balancing act between devoting time to this group.
It takes a lot of time, especially on weekends, getting from one place to another.
And we're all full-time students, fully running the group.
But I think we all make it work. We're all here tonight.
We all have a ton of fun every time we're together and that kind of makes it all worth it.
Well, let's get back to live music in the layer with the UW Mad Hatters presented by the Aaron Weber group.
The last song you have for us tonight is another classic sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond.
It's a crowd favorite. Tell us about the historical significance of this song to the Mad Hatters.
Oh, yeah. This is a classic Mad Hatters song. Every single performance,
whether it's a home gig or an awake gig, we always finish the concert off with this as our encore.
So we kind of baton with that good night song.
And then we come back on stage and we sing sweet Caroline.
And it's a great time for the audience to send us.
It's a classic that's here and right now UW Mad Hatters are live in the layer.
It's Max Inc. of Civic Media. We are local music.
Where it began. I can't begin to know him.
But then I know it's growing stronger.
Wasn't the spring and spring became the summer.
But I believe you'd come along.
Hands.
Touching hands.
Reaching out.
Touching me.
Touching you.
Sweet Caroline.
Sometimes never seems so good.
I've been inclined to believe that he never would.
And now we're...
Look at the night.
And it don't seem so lonely.
We fill it up with only two.
And when I heard the hurt and rubs off my shoulders.
How can I hurt when I'm with you?
Warm.
Touching warm.
Reaching out.
Touching me.
Touching you.
Sweet Caroline.
Sometimes never seems so good.
I've been inclined to believe that he never would.
And now we're...
Max Inc. Radio. Thank you so much for having us on.
We had a wonderful time before and for you.
We hope you have a wonderful rest of your night.
Sweet Caroline.
Sometimes never seems so good.
I've been inclined to believe that he never would.
Let's do it again.
Sweet Caroline.
Sometimes never seems so good.
I've been inclined to believe that he never would.
