A native of Perth, Western Australia, Maddison played in mid-1980s punk the Greenhouse Effect. After moving to Sydney in 1986, he played bass for Lubricated Goat sometimes under the pseudonym Buster Smallgoods, recording one album and one EP with them. Frontman Stuart "Stu Spasm" Grey and Maddison were the only band members to go on a tour of the United States; they enlisted guitarist Renestair EJ and drummer Martin Bland to tour with them.He was an occasional member of the improvised group The Unconscious Collective, and the mixed media experiment Merge.
After the tour of the United States was completed, Maddison left Lubricated Goat and formed a side project with Peter Hartley, who played guitar on Lubricated Goat's first album. The new band was called Monroe’s Fur. At this time, Maddison relocated to Seattle, Washington.
In the mid-1990s, Maddison played bass in the third incarnation of Bloodloss, a blues-punk band originally started in Adelaide, Australia in 1982, with vocalist Mark Arm, guitarist and saxophonist Renestair EJ, and Martin Bland.
In the late 1990s, Maddison was the frontman for a Seattle band called Tall Poppies, playing guitar and singing lead.
In 2001, after the departure of founding Mudhoney bassist Matt Lukin, Maddison accepted an offer to join the band. He has appeared on their three most recent albums, which have received mostly positive reviews from music critics.
