10,000 Maniacs @ Egyptian Theatre 3/19-22 Incongruously and inexplicably named after a 1960s horror film from exploitation director Herschell Gordon Lewis, 10,000 Maniacs make music that is undeniably tuneful and friendly. Based in upstate New York, the breezy alternative rock group debuted on record with 1983’s Secrets of the I Ching .
That record and its 1985 follow-up were well-received, but did not chart. Everything changed with the release of 1987’s In My Tribe . Spurred in part by the charting single “What’s the Matter Here?,” the album eventually went double-platinum.
