An Alternative Rock band from the Hudson Valley in New York State, 10,000 Maniacs (a reference to the '60s horror film Two Thousand Maniacs!) began life as the cover band "Still Life", whose line-up included guitarist Rob Buck, keyboardist Dennis Drew and bassist Steve Gustafson, all of whom would go on to become life-long 'Maniacs' (Buck died in 1999). After a series of line-up changes, the newly-christened "10,000 Maniacs" played their debut gig on Labor Day, 1981, fronted by a 17-year-old Natalie Merchant. After a year of exhaustive gigging, a debut EP Human Conflict Number Five, and various changes of drummer, 1983 saw the arrival of now-longstanding member Jerry Augustyniak, followed by the group's debut album The Secrets of the I Ching, released on the Maniacs' own label, Christian Burial Music.As with any burgeoning Alt. Rock group in the Eighties, touring became a way of life for the group until Elektra Records signed them in late '84, with their sophomore release The Wishing Chair following in the fall of '85. Shortly thereafter, John Lombardo, the band's rhythm guitarist and co-prinipical songwriter (alongside Merchant), quit the band, which in some ways proved a blessing in disguise when the group's third LP, In My Tribe, charted at #37 in the US and went double platinum, vastly outselling their previous releases. Their next three albums met with similar success, peaking in 1993 with an MTV Unplugged live release (which featured their biggest hit single, a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Because the Night"), whereupon Merchant publicly announced her decision to go solo. Merchant's solo albums would (briefly) achieve the mainstream success that had largely eluded her with the band.Lombardo and his new musical partner, singer/violaist Mary Ramsey, were drafted in by the remaining the Maniacs, with whom they put out a further two albums until the sudden death of lead guitarist Robert Buck in late 2000. After a year out, the Maniacs reconvened with Jeff Erickson, an ex-roadie, as new lead guitarist and Oskar Saville (formerly of Rubygrass) as lead vocalist. These decisions prompted Lombardo to quit a second time, and Ramsey also left, but rejoined the band as lead singer upon Saville's departure in 2007. In 2011, the year of the group's 30th anniversary, the Maniacs put out the EP "Triangles", their first release in 10 years.Once aptly described by rock critic Robert Christgau as R.E.M.'s (musical) "kissing cousins", the Maniacs were also proponents of the Jangle Pop style that dominated both bands' musical output in the mid-to-late-'80s. | |

Male Band, Female Singer: The core lineup of the band has always been this, though they have brought in multiple female musicians as touring members (including violinist and backup singer Mary Ramsey, who became lead vocalist after Natalie Merchant's departure). | |

New Sound Album | |
| 10,000 Maniacs (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Secrets of the I Ching shifted the band's sound away from Post-Punk to a rough, but folksy brand of Jangle Pop. In My Tribe smoothed out the band's sound to a more mainstream-accessible sound while still having a distinct edge to it. Our Time in Eden smoothed out their sound even more, and resulted in a softer, more melancholic style, paralleling R.E.M.'s similarly soft and melancholic Automatic for the People (released just six days later) and foreshadowing the quiet, folksy brand of art pop that would define Natalie Merchant's forthcoming solo career. | |

Teen Pregnancy: "Eat For Two", sung from the perspective of a young mother facing an unplanned pregnancy. The song was later answered by R.E.M.'s song "Me In Honey", which is told from the father's perspective. | |

Compilation Rerelease: Hope Chest: The Fredonia Recordings 1982–1983, a 1990 compilation collecting remixed and re-sequenced versions of both the Human Conflict Number Five EP and Secrets of the I Ching on one disc; the only track dropped is the original version of "Tension", since the re-recording from Secrets of the I Ching is included instead. To compensate, the compilation includes "National Education Week", which was dropped from later pressings of Secrets of the I Ching. | |

| 10,000 Maniacs (Music) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Blind Man's Zoo ends with "Jubilee", an eerie orchestral dirge about the psychology of a white supremacist terrorist. The song itself ends by implying that said terrorist is successful in his mission of burning down a racially integrated festival. | |

| 10,000 Maniacs (Music) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Compared to their later material, Human Conflict Number Five and Secrets of the I Ching stand out considerably with their reggae-infused Post-Punk direction and Natalie Merchant's more ethereal singing style. Not that surprising knowing that the members first met playing Joy Division and Gang of Four covers. | |

Granola Girl: Natalie Merchant, with her vegetarianism and political lyrics, came across as one. She even spent time in a health food bakery as a literal "granola girl", making "a thousand pounds of granola a week". | |

Boyish Short Hair: Natalie Merchant sported this hairstyle in the early '90s, seen in the video for "Candy Everybody Wants" and the band's Unplugged appearance. Also doubles as an Important Haircut as she'd decided to leave the band by then. | |

Rearrange the Song: The Human Conflict Number Five track "Tension" was re-recorded for Secrets of the I Ching; this version would be featured on the 1990 compilation Hope Chest. It was later re-recorded again for The Wishing Chair, where it was renamed "Tension Makes a Tangle", alongside "Grey Victory", "Daktari" (included on the CD release as a bonus track), and "My Mother the War". | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| 10,000 Maniacs (Music) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: At least musically; the band had a softer, more melodic style that was basically folk rock updated for The '80s, compared to the edgier alternative bands of the time. They crossed over into the adult contemporary charts and the songs from the Merchant era remain staples of adult alternative radio. They still had a lot of artistic credibility. | |

Cover Version | |

Cover Version: The Wishing Chair features the band's rendition of the British folk song "Just As the Tide Was a Flowing". Cat Stevens' "Peace Train", removed from later U.S. CD and cassette pressings of In My Tribe in protest of Stevens making comments that the general public interpreted as supporting the fatwa against Salman Rushdie. A live rendition of Patti Smith & Bruce Springsteen's "Because the Night" (the band's biggest mainstream pop hit) is featured on MTV Unplugged. Roxy Music's "More Than This" (their biggest post-Merchant hit) is featured on Love Among the Ruins. Morrissey's "Every Day Is Like Sunday" R.E.M.'s "(Don't Go Back To) Rockville" appears as a B-Side to "Candy Everybody Wants". John Prine's "Hello in There". | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| 10,000 Maniacs (Music) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: Very common on the band's songs, especially during the Merchant Era. Prominent examples include "What's The Matter Here?", a bouncy pop tune about child abuse, "Like the Weather", a pleasant and mellow-sounding song about depression, and "Candy Everybody Wants", a jubilant, horn-driven number about how ignorant audiences really are. | |

War Is Hell | |
| 10,000 Maniacs (Music) / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: "Anthem for Doomed Youth" depicts war as nothing more than sending people to die horrible deaths for no legitimate reason. The song particularly criticizes conscription, wondering if people's attitudes towards war would be different if jingoistic countrymen who support, but don't participate in it were forced to fight instead. | |

Alternate Album Cover | |
| 10,000 Maniacs (Music) / int_fa77309d | comment |
Alternate Album Cover: The LP release of The Wishing Chair includes three copies of a photograph depicting a 19th century woman seated at a chair. The CD and cassette releases, meanwhile, only use a single copy of the picture. In My Tribe used different shots of an archery class on the LP, cassette, and CD covers. | |

Scary Musician, Harmless Music: With a name like 10,000 Maniacs, you'd probably expect them to be a Death Metal or a Hardcore Punk band. Instead, they play socially-conscious jangle pop. | |

Spear Counterpart: R.E.M., who music critic Robert Christgau regarded as 10,000 Maniacs' "musical kissing cousins." Appropriately, Natalie Merchant and Michael Stipe were close acquaintances, and at one point romantic partners; Stipe provided backing vocals on "A Campfire Song", and Merchant on R.E.M.'s "Photograph". Stipe also credited Merchant for influencing R.E.M.'s more socially conscious direction on Lifes Rich Pageant, Document, and Green. | |
