Madeline Chase was the lead vocalist of 80s band The Skolars. Formed in 1981, The Skolars started life as a ska band but soon evolved into a more broadly-based guitar-pop outfit. They played and recorded throughout the 1980's & released a string of singles, along with their 1986 mini-album 'Next to the Oyster'. They toured extensively throughout Australia and played in the inner city of Sydney’s most established venues, they were supported by radio airplay and were regular features on the independent charts, receiving promising reviews from Sounds U.K. and Rolling Stone magazines, described as power–pop the band moved from ballads to more upbeat dance songs that were melodic and catchy. These days Madeleine performs in venues around Sydney for corporate functions and special events as well as writing and performing her own original material.
