10,000 MANIACS

 

 

From Jamestown, New York.  Led by Dennis Drew (keyboards) with Steve Gustafson (bass), Jerome Augustyniak (drums), Jeff Erikson (guitar) and Oskar Saville (vocals).  A band with a long history.  Original frontwoman Natalie Merchant joined the already formed band as singer in the classic tradition, groupie hangs out at shows, makes friends with band and eventually joins.  The addition of Merchant, and her strangely accented vocals led to success for the band.  After a few records, former frontperson John Lombardo was feeling a bit displaced and quit the group, eventually forming the duo John & Mary with Mary Ramsey (vocals/violin).  When Merchant left the group for a solo career in 1993, John & Mary were absorbed into the band.  In December of 2000, guitarist Robert Buck died suddenly of liver disease leaving the group's future in question.  John & Mary also left the band.  As of 2004, the band is alive and active and now has welcomed new members Saville and Erikson.  1982-present.
