December 15, 2006 - I got to see Manical perform for
the very first time in my life! :)
Maniacal is a hardcore metal band based in Buena Vista that performs throughout the country.
You can read more about this band at their web site
(www.ManiacalUnderground.com) and you
can enjoy some of their music on their myspace page:
www.myspace.com/maniacal.
Here are the two best photos I came up with last night. Both have lead
vocalist Jesse Cortese and bass guitarist Luke Cortese, the dude with the long hair. |

Here are the members of Maniacal ...
TOP LEFT: Vocalist Jesse Cortese.
TOP RIGHT: Lead guitarist Jesse Pfalzgraff
BOTTOM LEFT: Sky Hudek, drummer. (It was difficult
getting a good photo of Sky and this one gave
him red eyes. Sorry Sky! His drumming was excellent!)
BOTTOM RIGHT: Bass guitarist Luke Cortese.
I have met all four of these men in person and I respect and admire them greatly.
Buena Vista should be proud to have these guys as neighbors!
Oh and lastly, Jesse Cortese was one of the few who was in attendance as
I celebrated my shirt's 17th birthday at Bongo Billy's! :)

Here's one photo of a few people moshing in the center area of
the Coyote Cantina bar area. For moshing standards, I think
last night was fairly mild, but it was still neat to see people jumping up and down and banging
into each other in mosh fashion! :p) |
 |
There are some really cool local Buena Vista people in these two adjacent photos.
That's all I have to say! ;) |
 |
In the back of the room, Manical t-shirts were offered for sale.
I was tempted to buy a Maniacal shirt, but the idea of having lead singer Jesse Cortese's
butt on the shirt was just too much for me (right) to handle! |

Look at this! The guy on the left moshes for Jesus! :) |

Jesse Pfalzgraff and Jesse Cortese. Jesse was very mobile as he sang! In this photo, it looks like Jesse was doing one of those native Irish kick dances that girls do, but I'm telling you, he was really rocking and entertaining the crowd! |
