MARCH 2005!!! IT’S ABOUT TIME!!
Formed in 1989 in
1999
marked a full decade of Nasty Maggot music. To celebrate, they released a
collection of their greatest hit singles. The songs were recorded at Bigg Dweeb
Studios in
For
the millennium (2000 and 2001 depending on your definition), the Maggots topped
the previous decade’s doings. Unbeknownst to Green, the rest of the
Maggots constructed the world's biggest, greenest tambourine for him. It was
such a work of art that it was too good to play, so he keeps it under glass at

milestones included the resigning of Chic from the drum throne. Chic will still
be very active in the band’s future undertakings; he will be engineering
and producing the next release and simultaneously be more active in his other
endeavor, MediaFactoryShow, who’s
bidness has been skyrocketing lately. He recently became a father of a baby
boy, on March 16 of 2005, and by 2006 plans to have him take over management of
the Maggots.
Chic
was replaced by Green Flem’s brother Seth, who has no last name
apparently, nor a stage name. Despite coming on board ill-equipped (without a
stage name), within a month it seemed like Seth had been part of the band for
years (he started spending his band earnings on new cars, drumsets and jewelry
for his wife that rivaled P. Ditty, just like the rest of the band).
Other
big happenings are in the works. A new release is being recorded on the
minimalist 3/4 track (using 8 entire tracks on the last 2 recordings was
wearing the band down so they decided to reduce the amount of tracks to less
than 1). Tons of new songs have been written, and they are being scrutinized to
separate the super-hits from the regular run-of-the-mill hits. Some of the working titles are (note
that some song titles are better than others, and not all of the songs will
appear on the new disc):

Note
that world-famous bassist Sinister Finister has been hanging around and once
added some Moog to a live free-form jam in F# minor. It sounded so disgustingly
Moogalicious that it may be incorporated in the next CD.
Speaking
of new recordings, Wrick’s other band, the Donut Kings, covered “
is/was:
Among the first groups to
provide discount admission to high school dropouts, Foghat fans and people who
surf the ‘Net reading bands’ web pages.
Among the first groups to make
critics and the band members pay for their discs.
Winner of several "
The first band to have their
singer stage all choreography himself, whether he liked it or not. Many people
believe Michael Jackson was the first, but he was busy doing other things.
The first group to start the
trend of “Hairwalking” where people with hairy backs walk around
with the back of their shirt pulled up to their shoulders, proudly displaying
their hair farm. This developed into “Billboarding”, where they
would let anyone who shaved the name of their favorite band member into shows
for free. It has more recently morphed into “censored” where
the ladies who love the ballad “Wildfinger” show the name of their
favorite Maggot shaved into…well, use your imagination. This trend has
recently spread to the West Coast (no pun intended…maybe).
The first to up the ante by
giving away cars as door prizes at their shows...so far, a Mustang and a
Hyundai have been given away; next on the list are a Kia, Harley and AMC Pacer.
The band who, when asked how
much their CD was at their CD Release Party, replied, "Free!!" This
ruined the longstanding trend of other local bands, who would charge upwards of
$10 for a lowly cassette tape with only 4 songs on it...These bands shall
remain nameless because of legal actions brought against the Maggots for this
outrageous act of defiance.
One of the only bands who
allows other local groups to cover their songs...Johnny's Teeth, Detention, the
Space Queen Sex Dance and First Trial of Yagneb and several others have been
covered by local talent.
The band who scoffs at anyone
sitting in for a song or two at their gigs...local guitar great Slashy J.
Izzbourne asked to sit in for a few songs, and even though he is a good friend,
the Maggots refused saying that it would compromise the quality of the gig and
they did not want any fan to feel that they had been ripped off of the $1 that
they paid for the cover charge.
