History
editMad'House was formed in the spring of 2002, inspired and influenced by the Internet mashup, "You Are Like a Prayer to Me" which featured Madonna and Black Legend.[1]
Their debut single, "Like a Prayer", sold many copies throughout Europe. Mad'House later made "Into the Groove" and "Holiday", two more Madonna cover-based singles. Intent on capitalizing on the Netherlands-based success of their debut "Like a Prayer" single, Mad'House eventually went on tour throughout Europe.
On 3 September 2002 Mad'House released their debut and only studio album Absolutely Mad.[citation needed]
In October 2002, Mad'House began touring but never went outside Europe. After their last concert, Buse Ünlü decided to leave, phase out of her career, and move to motherhood due to the early birth of her son, Damian Angelo Geronimo Virgilio, on 17 August the same year.[citation needed] Mad'House disbanded sometime in late 2002.
