Thanks!

We want to thank everyone who made it to Secret Headquarters on Friday and for helping make it an unforgettable night. Violent Squids put on an amazing show that had the crowd going nuts. It was one of the best sets I've seen them play. I felt like our show was bad ass as well. Thanks to all you crazies that were dancing, singing, and providing general chaos. It couldn't have been a better way to say goodbye to Christina.

Our Most Requested Song - Hideously Mutated Life

We have discussed so many of the songs we rotate on the myspace player but haven't really talked about any of the ones available for free download or on our demo cd. So let's begin with our most requested song, Hideously Mutated Life. This song is a heavy bluesy rocker injecting toxic slime into your brain. It was one of the earliest songs written by Kim & Brannon and has been a set list staple since the earliest days of the band. This song is fun to play live and get the crowd up and moving but it also has an important message check it out at (http://www.themadscientists.biz/lyrics). Now to demonstrate just how mad we actually are, we make this song available for free download at (http://www.themadscientists.biz
http://www.myspace.com/themadscientists or
http://www.download.com/themadscientists ). Please realize these are mp3s and they will be of inferior quality to what we offer on our
demo cd available at all of our shows and various locations across the DFW area. Plus, the cd comes with cool fetal olive artwork!

Christina's Final Show This Friday 4.20.7

Friday will be your final chance to see this incarnation of The Mad Scientists. Christina is leaving to pursue her visual art interests and will be playing this last show with us. We are very fortunate to
be doing this show at such an amazing venue as Secret Headquarters (SHQ). If your not not familiar with SHQ it a DIY venue in Denton (210 E. Hickory - the old Art Prostitute building). It is a cool, funky, BYOB venue where the music is always amazing and the coolest Dentonites hang out. It is definitely a music venue but it has the laid back vibe of a great house party. Your almost always guaranteed to meet new people and see people you haven't seen in a long time. Given all this it seems like a great place to play our final show with Christina. If you sign up for the email list at the show or are already on it and make it out we will give you a special gift so you can remember Christina always. We will be playing with our good friends and an amazing group of musicians Violent Squids. Violent Squids will be doing a special collaboration with the Oveo that night. With the Squids you never know what to expect; they're experimental, improvisational, and insane. Also, hitting the stage is the young Denton band, Christian! Teenage Runaways.

Liquidating Earth's Assests (April MySpace song - Geoparasitism)

Its a new month and that means a switch of songs on the old myspace player (http://www.myspace.com/TheMadScientists). This month we are featuring the title track, Geoparasitism. This is one of the strangest tracks on the album
(http://www.cdbaby.com/madscientists or if this is more your style itunes).The best can be described is prog metal with brain blistering time changes and loud experimental noise fests that release you from their grip only once you brain cells have been perfectly rearranged. This was the final song written for the album and one of the most difficult as it features several times signatures (7/8, 6/8, 9/8, 10/8, and the weirdest of all 4/4). You almost have to hear it to believe it.
