Yeah, the guy hasn't had a hit in 20 years, but he ain't exactly a newcomer...and honestly...anyone who calls himself a music critic should be familiar with the name at least.Snidely Whiplashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344385921009614020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7087026872969806667.post-65066154263052612222011-05-12T09:07:07.304-05:002011-05-12T09:07:07.304-05:00Kevin, I've just started following your blog, ...Kevin, I've just started following your blog, and I've enjoyed it and learned a few things. You seem to very knowledgeable about the current music scene, espceially locally. I guess that is good b/c that is your job.

I think a lot of people are more familiar with the band from when Natalie was a member, but I've heard from people that are excited to see 10,000 Maniacs again. I've heard good things about Mary.<br /><br />Any idea on when you'll have some new songs?Kevin Coffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440417058499215318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7087026872969806667.post-30566267328139605492011-05-11T08:51:22.051-05:002011-05-11T08:51:22.051-05:00Natalie quit 10,000 Maniacs 18 years ago.

Mary had previously toured with us playing viola and singing back-up vocals. With John and Mary we released "Love Among The Ruins" on Geffen records in 1997 and "The Earth Pressed Flat" on Bar None in 1999. Sadly, our dear friend and guitarist Robert Buck died in 2000. It took us a long time to get over that. Currently, we are writing and recording new songs at our studio in Jamestown, NY and playing a few gigs every summer because we still enjoy each other and playing our music. Go to www.maniacs.com and follow links to facebook for updates and youtube (10KMTV) for recent video footage.<br />Give us a chance.<br /><br />Steven Gustafson - founding member, bass.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970541875715833488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7087026872969806667.post-46000573627873821272011-05-11T00:11:47.032-05:002011-05-11T00:11:47.032-05:00Fred - Not sure how they're doing that.

It probably has more to do with the band's routing (which the festival can't control) than anything.Kevin Coffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440417058499215318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7087026872969806667.post-77952261232142759362011-05-11T00:09:32.164-05:002011-05-11T00:09:32.164-05:00Justin - You are correct.

They also kept calling Sublime With Rome simply "Sublime," which ain't exactly the same thing.Kevin Coffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440417058499215318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7087026872969806667.post-54422889550689369952011-05-11T00:07:15.628-05:002011-05-11T00:07:15.628-05:00Actually they announced that the "The Fab Fou...Actually they announced that the "The Fab Four - The Ultimate Tribute" will be there... which is a Beatles tribute band.

For example, I certainly would like to see Buddy Guy, and George Clinton would also be a great show to see, but if they are on different days with a random selection which the rest of the bands announced seem to represent, then I might not actually go to see either of them.<br />Are you sure the announced price range of the Journey tickets is actually correct? Because it seems quite unlikely to me that there are more than a handful of folks on the planet who would spend $120 to see Journey/Night Ranger.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575691138353852000noreply@blogger.com
