Still raving after all these years, this college rock band from Jamestown, New York - although over time the line-up has often been shaken up.
The band name was taken from a B-movie recorded in 1965, directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis and given a more modest title: Two Thousand Maniacs, to be exact.
It should be added that the original plan was to call the movie Five Thousand Maniacs. May be this caused the band to - quite wrongly – trust on some kind of collective memory and persist in believing that the correct movie title was 10,000 Maniacs.
By the way, in 2005 a horror movie by director Tim Sullivan was brought out entitled 2001 Maniacs. Do not despair; before you know it we will have reached the ten thousand madmen.
