Holy Crap, That Was Awesome.

The Maybenauts are all busy recuperating from the most unbelievable weekend ever. We kicked off our Easter/Passover celebration early with a show in Chicago at Quenchers on April 9, and then hit the road to visit our northern neighbors with a show in Madison at Inferno on the 10th. The show was a blast, with Madison locals The Type. Shhhhh... There have been talks of a split 7" with The Maybenauts and the Type!!

After our wonderful show we settled in with our hosts, Travis Kasperbauer and Jane Wiedlin, and went to task tracking five glorious tunes. Travis worked his magic at the control board while Jane helped produce some unbelievable vocals.

We hope to have some rough mixes in the next week and start working on finalizing the recordings and some cover art... When will the new EP be available??? Oh, soon, little children, soon...

Maybenauts Take Over the Airwaves!

We had a great time bombarding the Vocalo 89.5FM studios yesterday! Keep an eye on their website, we've been promised a podcast of our interview and performance.

We hope to be back ASAP (ideally with the whole band) to celebrate the release of our new EP... but more on that later!

Ready, set... GO!

It's booked! In April we will be heading to the lovely town of Madison, Wisconsin to record with the awesome production team of Travis Kasperbauer and Jane Wiedlin. We'll be laying down some of the new songs you've been hearing at shows for the past few months, in preparation for the release of our debut EP as The Maybenauts. We'll also be playing a show while we're out there - we'll keep you posted on the details.

Until then, we just announced a handful of new shows that are coming up (including a visit to our neighbors in Indiana). Check 'em out and check us out! We promise you a good time, baby. ;)

3... 2... 1... Launch!

Welcome to The Maybenauts' official blog! I'm Ellie Maybe, bassist for The Maybenauts. As I watch the Inaugural Parade on television I sit here trying to summon the narcissism necessary to write an introduction to our band on a day as important as this. I think I can do it.

As our fans know, we have recently undergone a band-wide makeover. We have changed our line-up (adding the loverly Emily Agustin on drums), changed our name, and are in the process of of solidifying our new sound. Along with these changes comes a blank slate in the world of social applications, so if you're a longtime friend or fan of The Maybenauts, Ellie Maybe, or this band in any incarnation, please take a second and add us as a friend on MySpace or become a fan on Facebook.

Outside of rebuilding our web presence with a new identity, we are hard at work writing new songs for your giggling and rocking pleasure. Catch a few of these new tunes on Friday, January 30th @ Martyrs'.

Until then, sign up for our mailing list at www.maybenauts.com or bookmark the new site to keep up-to-date on the new happenings with The Maybenauts!
