Kyler Schogen-guitar/vocals Kyler has an extensive and colorful background in a wide variety of music with bluesy-hard rock, being his natural forte.
His decades of studio and touring experience manifest in the tones and riffs emitted from the fingers of a seasoned pro.

The band toured the east coast for many years and eventually relocating to L. A. Tony became first call on everybody’s list from the camps of Megadeth, Kiss, Steele Dan, Frank Zappa, and more.
Tony is 100%, through and through, a musician’s musician! Duane Waider-drums/vocals Duane is one of L.A.’s most dependable and experienced session drummer/vocalists, who rounds out Mad Love’s line-up. Duane started playing drums at age 3, and at age 5, formed a talent show-winning child prodigy band, “Duane and The Red Coats”.
This highly-seasoned ''phenom" band appeared on both national T.V. and radio, while touring extensively with The Turtles, Iron Butterfly, Five Americans and Herman’s Hermits and many more.
