Atlantic Records: 10.000 Maniacs: A group that rose to success despite humble beginnings, the 10,000 Maniacs gave its fans meaningful lyrics and a original sound. 10,000 Maniacs began as Still Life in rural Jamestown, New York in February 1981. Natalie Merchant, Robert Buck, Dennis Drew and Steve Gustafson played together as Still Life for several months before taking on John Lombardo and changing their name to 10,000 Maniacs later that fall. The band performed relentlessly and began working on independent recordings - The EP Human Conflict Number Five was released in 1982, followed by 1983's Secrets of the I-Ching.
10,000 Maniacs were bringing something to the table that no one else had been offering - mellow yet meaningful tunes, infused with strings and rich tones. Their touring quickly gained them a fan base and as a result, they were signed to Elektra in 1984, where they released their major label debut, Wishing Chair. Critics lauded their efforts and before long, 10,000 Maniacs had forged their way onto the mainstream pop scene ...

Bar/None Records: 10,000 Maniacs - Biography of the band and information about their latest album "The Earth Pressed Flat."
Sometimes the simplest strategies yield the richest results. The Earth Pressed Flat is 10,000 Maniacs’ most homegrown project since its earliest recordings seventeen years ago, yet it may be among the band’s most striking and eloquent. It was assembled from material they had been developing over the last four years – both before and after their 1997 Geffen release Love Among the Ruins – and recorded in an unhurried fashion in and around their Jamestown, New York base. Joined by producer/engineer/friend Armand John Petri, the band recorded in traditional studios, at home, on local stages and in an abandoned pharmacy! They tried to keep the process as low-key as possible, favoring the immediacy of their performances over belabored overdubs. The uncluttered settings reveal the beauty at the heart of the Maniacs’ work: the combination of ethereal strings, guitars and earthy keyboards creates a unique and affecting sound somewhere left of folk rock ...

Guitar - May 1988: Rock & Roll Acid Test, article: Robert Buck and Steven Gustafson, 10,000 Maniacs: Turning points in the history of rock 'n' roll are moments frozen into the souls of those who witness them. Up in the Northeast Tundra Country, where the state of New York merges with Pennsylvania and from October to May feels like Canada, bands rise up from the great vast nowhere with their hands deep in their pockets and cover the night with tears on the wind. At a place called Molly B's in Erie, PA, on February 27, 1981, such a moment occurred, but few in the crowd sensed the historical import of the occasion, except for the Jamestown, New York band in question, known then as Still Life, opening that night for the Ex-Whites and Giraffe ...
