It's Summer again, and that
means it's 'Maniacs time! Come hear the Acoustamaniacs again this year
downtown at the Sidewalk Arts Stroll! Back with some killer new material,
you won't regret coming to listen (probably).
If you don't have a copy of NaDuck already (what rock have YOU been living
under?) come out and get one! At $5.00 apiece, it's almost as cheap as
downloading! (and roughly 5 times as gratifying).
It goes down this Thursday, May 17 starting at around 5 PM. Last year we
played around the courthouse (which turned out to be a good thing, due to
the riots that ensued after we announced our last song of the evening) but
this year, we may be moved. Simply come downtown and find the large crowd.
So! What are you waiting for? Get yourself and your buddies together, and
get ready to be rocked by the Acoustamaniacs (or at least slightly jostled)!

| "NaDuck" is
officially being scheduled for duplication! It's official release should be
expected in no more than two weeks. Stay tuned to the site to order a copy!
Be the first on your block to own the greatest record of the past 2.67
milennia! Also... The
'Maniacs have accepted an invitation to play for the "Great Big Book Bash"
at the Huntsville Public Library, an event featuring children's author
Jarrett Krosoczka, on Saturday, February 24 at 10:30 AM and 2:00 PM.
Krosoczka is the author of a children's book called "Punk Farm", which is
being made into a major motion picture. The Acoustamaniacs will be
performing punk versions of children's songs in their signature crazy
acoustic style, so it will definitely be a unique show!
More info on the
event.
Check out the new pics on the PHOTOS page and the
new MUSIC too (CD version of "Down with the Government" and a live version
of "Bite Me" from the August Sidewalks Arts Stroll)!

| What's this?
An update? Why, yes, I do believe it is! Must mean there's some breaking
news and exciting/valuable additions to the site to be related. explained,
and/or discussed! Must mean The Acoustamaniacs have a wealth of goodness to
deliver to the world in the form of a few kb of data! Must mean everyone's
lives are about to change!
Well... not really. In fact,
there's really nothing to say at all. Except this long list of exciting
stuff...
-The 'Maniacs are hard at
work in the studio on the NaDuck album and anticipate a July or August
release!
-There's a new studio
recording available for download on the "MUSIC" page! Here's a hint: Please
turn the tv down. Yes, the brand new studio recording of Game Room of Hell
is available on this site and only this site!
-A few new rad pics of D and
E on the "PHOTOS" page!
-FREE official
Acoustamaniacs Ringtones! See that little button at the bottom of the left
navigation bar?? Yeah, that one. No, don't eat it. Click it, Einstein.
...and, last but definitely
not least by any stretch or G chord of the dulcimer...
-Another Acoustamaniacs
performance is coming up! We've been invited to play on Thursday July 27 in
downtown Huntsville at the second Meridian Arts "Sidewalk Arts Stroll" of
the summer! Best of all, it's FREE, so you don't have to worry about
admission! We plan to be playing on Jefferson Street in front of the
courthouse steps from 6 - 9 PM, amplified and rockin' our hardest. Come see
us! It's possible that we'll have the album finished by then, so we may have
copies for sale. Either way, it's gonna be awesome.
Sign the guestbook. We mean
it.

Due to
unprecedented response from our recent Panoply show, we have been approached
by the Huntsville Arts Council to participate in their Sidewalk Summer Arts
Stroll. The great thing about this show is that it is FREE (unlike Panoply)!
Here's the official press release about the event:
HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA--Join us Thursday, June 22 from 6:00 – 9:00 as the
sidewalks of downtown Huntsville becomes stages for the arts! The Sidewalk
Arts Stroll will bring people to Huntsville’s downtown square for fun,
entertainment and food on a week night. Historic Huntsville Foundation is
sponsor of the event, partnering with Meridian Arts, the Arts Council,
DowntownHuntsville.com, and in cooperation with Big Springs Partners.
The event will take place on the sidewalks around the courthouse square,
beginning with Harrison Brothers Hardware, and continue along Jefferson
Street to Meridian Arts Gallery at 305 Jefferson Street. Along the way,
artists will set up tables to present their artwork and performing groups
will be located along the way to provide entertainment. The night of the
event, Harrison Brothers will debut ‘Arts Alabama,’ a section of the store
that showcases the work of select Alabama artists.
Come out and support the 'Maniacs as they continue their reign of
dulcimer-fueled comedic furor over the citizens of Huntsville!~Acoustamaniacs Webmaster,

| Big news. The
'Maniacs are currently in the studio working on their first quasi-commercial
release, NaDuck! The first track to be officially recorded at CD quality,
"Bite Me", is available to hear in its possibly complete form on the
"MUSIC" page now!
Also, there are some new "PHOTOS" of the Acoustamaniacs laying down tracks
in their ghetto makeshift recording studio in the Honors Lounge at UAH. I'm
particularly fond of the microphone strapped to the top of the tv.
Check out the new stuff and
remember to drink grape soda. And Vault. And hydrochloric acid.
Later, FFCs.

| Time for me to
get off my lazy expletive deleted and post an update, eh?
So, the Panoply street
performance went quite well. In fact, it kicked expletive deleted. Quite a
few people listened to the 'Maniacs, and we all had a super amount of fun.
The set lasted for close to two hours without repeating a single song,
original and cover. I think it may have been one of the best Acoustamaniacs
performances to date, though it's hard to tell.
The entire performance was
recorded via ibook, but the recording didn't turn out too well. I made a 5
and 1/2 minute compilation of the best moments of the recording that you can
hear on the "MUSIC" page, but it's pretty worthless. Better than nothing,
though!
Also, there are some
pictures from the Panoply show on the "PHOTOS" page. Check them.

| Ok, here's the
deal: The Acoustamaniacs will be playing at Panoply on Friday night from 7-9
in Big Spring Park. Our exact location is still undecided at the moment, but
we'll let you know. If we don't, just wander around until you find us.
Follow the screaming crowd.
Come out and have a rockin'
time with the 'Maniacs! It'll be a lot of fun*!

| Update! The
'Maniacs are scheduled to play at the Panoply
Arts Festival in Big Spring Park on Sunday April 30 sometime between 12
and 2 PM. We'll let you know the exact time when we find out. We have new
music for you to listen to on the "music" page!! Go! They are live versions
of some of the Acoustamaniacs' finest works recorded at the
less-than-impressive auditions for Panoply. While the auditions themselves
were terribly organized and the crowd was less-than-big, the 'Maniacs put on
a rockin' performance and we think you should hear it. Go!
Also, if you're bored and feel
like reading a poorly constructed, misleading piece of journalist defecate,
check out
this article written about the auditions for Panoply in the Huntsville
Times. Notice how we are referred to as a "comedy singing group called the
AcoustaManiacs". Since when are we a singing group and since when are
we flippin' comedians, and since when does our band name have two
capital letters?! I am thoroughly disgusted. Also, I don't think
"mission accomplished" is a very accurate way to describe those auditions.
If what happened there was really their mission, I feel incredibly sorry for
them.
Anyway, we'll keep you
posted and updated and junk. Sign the guestbook! Until we meet again I'll
leave you with this question: What indeed is Ophelia's other name?
