Rock group
"One of the most forceful and innovative young bands in America," according to John Leland in Vogue, is 10, 000 Maniacs. Composed of lead singer and lyricist Natalie Merchant, bass player Steve Gustafson, drummer Jerry Augustyniak, keyboard player Dennis Drew, and lead guitarist Robert Buck, the Maniacs have been recording since the early 1980s but only began enjoying substantial success with the release of their 1987 album, In My Tribe.That disc, and the subsequent Blind Man’s Zoo, have made popular 10, 000 Maniacs’ particularly tuneful manner of social protest— their songs take on issues such as child abuse, environmental problems, and unwanted pregnancy. As Ira Robbins of Rolling Stone summed, the band’s "plain-spoken music is an elegant rock descendant of American and British folk traditions."
The core of the group that became 10, 000 Maniacs formed around Gustafson, Drew, and Buck in Jamestown, New York, in 1981. Soon afterwards, the band, which had played under monikers such as Still Life, and the Burn Victims, decided to change its name. The new name evolved from a mistake about the title of a B-grade horror film, 2,000 Maniacs. Merchant, though younger than the other group members, knew Gustafson and Drew because they ran the student radio station at Jamestown Community College, where she attended classes. She began showing up where the Maniacs performed, at small clubs and parties, and one night they invited her up to the microphone to sing. They liked her looks, her dancing, and her ability to improvise songs, and she quickly became an official Maniac. But there were problems because of Merchant’s age. "Her mother hated us," Gustafson recounted for Anthony DeCurtis of Rolling Stone. "She thought we were having all these orgies and selling drugs…so [Merchant] used to have to sneak out of the house to come down to the bar at the Hotel Franklin to play. And her mother used to come down and drag her out… and yell at her and make her go home."
Despite such obstacles, Merchant and the other Maniacs gained a local following in western New York. They also put out two recordings on their own label—one extended-play disc in 1982 entitled "Human Conflict Number Five," and an album in 1983, Secrets of the I Ching. Both came about partially as projects of the sound-engineering program at the State University of New York at Fredonia, and the latter included protest songs like "My Mother the War" and "Grey Victory"— about the World War II atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan. The records received airplay on alternative and college radio stations, and drew praise and comparisons with the British folk group Fairport Convention from critics, but were commercial failures.
The band’s luck began to change in 1983, when it came under the management of Peter Leak, an Englishman who got them their first British tour, and, in 1985, a contract with Elektra Records. Elektra tried to give the band a more New Wave look—"wanted to make us look like the Human League," guitarist Buck told DeCurtis. The image consultant that was called in wore leather and had "a samurai haircut," but gave up when he took his first look at 10, 000 Maniacs. "He was really nice about it," recalled Buck. "He’s going, ‘I’m sorry. There’s obviously nothing I can do for you. You people are hicks. The best thing you can do is accentuate the fact that you’re hicks.’"
The Maniacs’ first album for Elektra, The Wishing Chair, enjoyed little more commercial success than their previous efforts. Like the earlier recordings, however, it received some highly favorable reviews—for instance, Ira Robbins in Rolling Stone hailed it as "a thought-provoking, toe-tapping joy." Hoping to make the band’s next album more salable, Elektra suggested Peter Ash-er as producer. Asher had produced records for many popular performers, most notably Linda Ronstadt, and during the 1960s had been half of the popular British duo, Peter and Gordon. The combination proved to be
winning. The resulting disc, In My Tribe, spawned the group’s first popular hit, "Like the Weather." But as Rolling Stone critic J. D. Considine pointed out in his review of the album, "this [was] no slick sellout." He added that "Asher should be applauded for the fact that he has allowed 10, 000 Maniacs to remain themselves." Other songs, like the controversial cut about child abuse "What’s the Matter Here," and a remake of Cat Stevens’s "Peace Train," received airplay also. However, the group now refuses to play the latter song in concert, due to Stevens’s support of the death threats to author Salman Rushdie. The band gained even more exposure when they opened a series of concerts for rock group R.E.M. Merchant explained 10, 000 Maniacs’ formula for success to People’s Steve Dougherty: "A lot of the songs are about really frightening subjects. But we hide them in nice little pop melodies, and it kind of lures people in."
That formula succeeded again with 1989’s Blind Man’s Zoo. Again using Asher as producer, the Maniacs released an album labeled both "vitriolic" and "charming" by Leland. He and David Browne of Rolling Stone agree, however, that it is probably 10, 000 Maniacs’ best work. Blind Man’s Zoo has brought the group two more hit singles—"Trouble Me," which Merchant wrote for her father while he was hospitalized, and "Eat for Two," which, in the words of People reviewer Andrew Abrahams, concerns "the darker side of deciding to bear a child." Other noteworthy songs from the disc include "Jubilee," a strike at religious fanatics, "The Big Parade," about a veteran of the Vietnam War, and "Hateful Hate," about the colonization of Africa.

Biography
10,000 Maniacs was formed in Jamestown, NY, in 1981 by singer Natalie Merchant and guitarist John Lombardo. The group gigged extensively and recorded independently before signing with Elektra and releasing their debut in 1985. Co-founder Lombardo left the band in 1986, and they continued as a quintet, releasing three more albums. After 1992's Our Time in Eden had finished its run on the charts, Merchant announced that she was leaving for a solo career. The remaining 10,000 Maniacs decided to continue performing, adding the folk-rock duo John & Mary (original member Lombardo and violinist/vocalist Mary Ramsey). The new lineup released two albums before parting ways. ~ William Ruhlmann, RoviWikipedia on Answers.com:

History
1981–1993
The band was formed as Still Life in 1981 in Jamestown, New York, by Dennis Drew (keyboards), Steve Gustafson (bass), Chet Cardinale (drums), Robert Buck (guitar), and Teri Newhouse (Buck's ex-wife and vocalist). Gustafson invited Natalie Merchant, who was 17 at the time, to do some vocals. John Lombardo, who was in a band called The Mills (along with brother guitarist/vocalists Mark Liuzzo and Paul Liuzzo and drummer Mike Young) and used to play occasionally with Still Life, was invited to join permanently on guitar and vocals. Newhouse and Cardinale left the band in July, and Merchant became the main singer. Various drummers came and left. The band changed its name to Burn Victims and then to 10,000 Maniacs after the low-budget horror movie Two Thousand Maniacs!.
They performed as 10,000 Maniacs for the first time on September 7, 1981 – Labor Day, with a line-up of Merchant, Lombardo, Buck, Drew, Gustafson, and Tim Edborg on drums. Edborg left and Bob "Bob O Matic" Wachter was on drums for most of the 1981 gigs. Tired of playing cover songs — though their first notable American hit was found in covering the Cat Stevens hit "Peace Train" — the band started to write their own music, usually with Merchant handling the lyrics and Lombardo the music. In March 1982, with Jim Foti on drums, the band recorded an EP album called Human Conflict Number Five. More gigs followed in 1982. It was during this time that they lived in Atlanta, Georgia for a short while at the encouragement of friends who said that many gigs were available there. The band moved back to Jamestown in November 1982.
At the beginning of 1983, Jerry Augustyniak joined the band as their permanent drummer. The Maniacs met Augustyniak when they played in Buffalo, New York, where he was in a punk band called The Stains. Between March and July, the band recorded songs for a second record, Secrets of the I Ching — their debut full-length album, which was pressed by Mark Records for the band's own label Christian Burial Music. The record was well-received by critics and it caught the attention of John Peel - DJ at BBC Radio 1 in London. One song, "My Mother the War" turned out to be a minor hit in United Kingdom, and it entered the independent singles chart. During 1983 and 1984, touring was a way of life for the band, which included gigs in the UK.
Peter Leak, an Englishman living in New York City, became interested in the band, made contact and was made their manager. With the help of Leak and Elektra Records A & R man Howard Thompson, 10,000 Maniacs signed to Elektra in November 1984. In the spring of 1985, they recorded their second full-length album, The Wishing Chair, in London at Livingston Studios, with Joe Boyd as producer. Though the album was not a blockbuster hit, its status as the band's major label debut did win it some notice, and it received significant critical acclaim.
Co-founder Lombardo left the band during a rehearsal on Monday, July 14, 1986. The remaining five members started the recordings of a new album in Los Angeles, with Peter Asher as the producer. In My Tribe, a more pop-rock oriented record, was released on Tuesday, July 7, 1987, hit the charts where it stayed 77 weeks, peaking at #37 and established a large US audience for the group and was also well received in the UK. The album originally contained "Peace Train." It was removed from subsequent pressings after Cat Stevens (now Yusef Islam) made comments implying he agreed with a death Fatwa against author Salman Rushdie. The next album, 1989 Blind Man's Zoo hit #13 and went gold, further increasing the group's following. In May 1989, the British music magazine, NME reported that 10,000 Maniacs had won the songwriter category prize at the New York Music Awards.[2] In 1990, with the help of Lombardo, they remastered their first two records Human Conflict Number Five and Secrets of the I Ching and released them as a compilation called Hope Chest: The Fredonia Recordings 1982-1983. Lombardo and Mary Ramsey, who had formed a folk act called John & Mary, opened gigs for the Maniacs on the Hope Chest Tour in 1990. In 1991, during the recordings of a new album, Merchant revealed to the other members that she would be leaving for a solo career in two years' time. In 1992, Our Time in Eden was released. On April 21, 1993, 10,000 Maniacs appeared on MTV Unplugged and Merchant announced her leaving the band on MTV on August 5, 1993 saying she "didn't want art by committee anymore."[3] The MTV Unplugged album was released in October 1993. The band also played President Clinton's Inaugural Ball in January 1993, with Merchant a vociferous supporter of the Democratic Party.
1994–2001
In late 1993/early 1994, the remaining members of 10,000 Maniacs (Augustyniak, Buck, Drew, and Gustafson) asked John & Mary to join the band and continue. The revamped band began performing new material almost immediately, initially calling themselves 'John & Mary, Rob, Steve, Dennis, & Jerry,' before they were to legally regain control of the 10,000 Maniacs name.
10,000 Maniacs released two albums with Ramsey on vocals. In 1997 they released Love Among the Ruins on Geffen Records and followed up in 1999 with The Earth Pressed Flat on Bar/None.
In December 1998, Buck took some time off from the band, moving to Texas to focus on a new project called League of Blind Women. The band recruited Buffalo-based Michael Lee Jackson of the band Animal Planet to step into the lead guitar role. Buck returned to the band in the summer of 1999.
On November 3, 2000, 10,000 Maniacs played with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, in Buffalo, NY. It was the last concert they performed with Buck. On December 19, 2000, Buck died of liver failure at the age of 42. He was buried in Mission Cemetery in Sugar Grove, Pennsylvania.
The band took a break. Gustafson and Drew, with Jeff Erickson started a band called The Mighty Wallop!. Augustyniak joined a band called Only Humen. On December 5, 2001, a 10,000 Maniacs line-up comprising Gustafson, Drew, Augustyniak, Lombardo, and Ramsey played on a benefit concert in Toronto, with Buck's former guitar technician, Erickson, on lead guitar.
2002–2007
In 2002, Gustafson, Drew, and Augustyniak decided that they wished to continue with a new lead singer. Lombardo showed up at the first band practice, found out that the band had hired Erickson to play lead guitar and Oskar Saville of the Chicago-based band Rubygrass to sing, and quit the band. This lineup toured sporadically between 2002 and 2006, playing at various festivals. Ramsey rejoined the current edition of 10,000 Maniacs for several dates in 2006, playing viola and singing backing vocals.
In 2006, John & Mary formed a folk-rock band called the Valkyries. John & Mary & the Valkyries are composed of several longtime Buffalo music scene stalwarts.
On January 27, 2004, Elektra/Asylum/Rhino Records released Campfire Songs: The Popular, Obscure and Unknown Recordings, a two CD set compilation, with 31 digitally remastered songs, four of them demos and one unreleased. The second disc contained B-sides and outtakes throughout the band's career up to that point, including many covers. Jackson Browne's "These Days" and Tom Waits's "I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You" were among those included.
Saville left in 2007 and Mary Ramsey regained the lead vocalist spot.
2008–present
The current edition of the band (Augustyniak, Drew, Erickson, Gustafson and Ramsey) remains active. On October 24, 2009, they performed at a benefit in Buffalo for the Griffis Sculpture Park in Ashford Hollow, New York. The band recorded an "Unkempt" acoustic show in Jamestown on January 16, 2010. Other recent shows include concerts in Chicago, IL; Keystone, CO; Rochester, NY and Clarence, NY.They also played a powerful performance at the popular Mohegan Sun Wolf Den in Uncasville CT on 8/4/10. Then later in 2010 played at the famous Oyster Festival in Norwalk, Connecticut. John Lombardo has joined his former band mates on numerous occasions; Buffalo-based singer/songwriter Maria Sebastian has also accompanied the band at recent shows.
A new album and a 30-city 30th anniversary tour is planned for 2011 with shows already scheduled in Chicago, IL, Uncasville, CT, Alpine, CA and Buenos Aires, Argentina.[4]
