About
Americana’s First Family is turning 10: Celebrate New Years Eve Live at the 04 Center as Madam Radar performs their discography reaching all the way back to The Texas KGB days from Welcome Home to Motel! -- MADAM RADAR is an Americana rock band that punches hard with their explosive harmonies, soaring guitar solos, and eclectic original tunes. The band is a tangled web of family and friends; Jace Cadle (rhythm guitar/vocals) is married to Kelly Green (lead guitar/vocals) who is the sister of Kody Lee (drums/vocals) who is married to Violet Lea (bass/vocals). Welcome to the Family. Fronted by the trio of Kelly, Violet, and Jace, MADAM RADAR is a revolving door of high-energy singer-songwriters, each with their own perspective and style that magically seem to overlap like the layers of a kaleidoscope. With all four members of the band providing harmonies, MADAM RADAR is a wall of colorful sound that changes shape, demanding your undivided attention. MADAM RADAR has shared stages with renowned acts such as Bon Jovi, Arc Angels, Lukas Nelson, Candlebox, 3 Doors Down, Hayes Carll, Jack Ingram, Shinyribs, Jackie Venson, and Comedian Ron White. They are a two-time Sonic Guild (formerly Black Fret) Grant recipient and were the first Austin-based band to perform at the Moody Center in Austin, TX. MADAM RADAR released their first full length album under the name “The Texas KGB” in 2016 titled Songs in the Key of Pain. In 2017, they released their second full length album titled Welcome Home. Both were recorded at 512 Studios with Omar Vallejo. MADAM RADAR announced their name change after being awarded their second grant from Black Fret in December 2019 at The Black Ball at ACL Live at the Moody Theater. They then released their self-titled album Madam Radar in February of 2020. It was recorded at The Finishing School in Austin, Texas and produced by Gordy Quist of The Band of Heathens and engineered by Grammy award winning Steve Christensen. In October of 2021, MADAM RADAR went back into The Finishing School with Gordy Quist and Steve Christensen to record their studio album SPEAKS. It was released to a sold out show July 30th of 2022 at the 04 Center in Austin, TX. Kevin Conner of Austin’s Sun Radio called MADAM RADAR’s single Hands, “The best song to come out of Austin in 2022.” During summer of 2023 MADAM RADAR rolled into Escondido Sound, the home studio away from home for Austin staples The Bright Light Social Hour, to work with Curtis Roush on their single Hole in My Head. The track was released August 27th, 2023. After nearly three years on the road the band came home again to The Finishing School, this time with help from Grammy Award Winner Steve Berlin of Los Lobos and Grammy Award Winning engineer Michael Brauer. Together they created MOTEL, a love letter to the road and the people you meet on the long way home. MOTEL was released May 16th, 2025.
