MySpace, Website, and Pics & Videos, OH MY!

EyeGore(our webmaster)has been putting in lots of extra hours the last couple of weeks fixing up the website and our myspace page. The myspace page (www.myspace.com/TheMadScientists) has been fixed up with a new bio, cdbaby AND itunes links, improved readability (or at least we think so), and LOTS of new pictures. Feel free to check out EyeGore's hard work when you have a chance. The website (http://www.TheMadScientists.biz) is still being worked on but should be completely updated by the end of the week. If you have some extra time you should definitely stop by and see all the hard work EyeGore did just for you. Plus, you can see pictures of our new drummer Brandon Whitehead. And maybe (just maybe) there will be some video clips up on both sites before the end of the year. If you have any video, audio, or pictures you've taken at our shows send us an email and we will put them up on the website and give you our un-dieing love.

Free CD Download (Plus Bonus Tracks) All December!!!

A few months ago (long before Radiohead's big annoucement) we hinted on our email list that everyone on it (what we refer to as Test Subjects) would get a free download of Geoparasitism as a tremendous thank you for being so incredibly awesome. Well, we thought about and we changed our minds. JUST KIDDING! No, the more we thought about how so many have already bought the album we wanted to do something special for everyone. So, what we came up with is that the free download version will include about half of the original tracks and about half alternate versions. Also, we are throwing in a couple of bonus cuts of live songs and early demo versions. Several people have told us they prefer the original demo recordings from our little 4 track recorder and we thought we would include those as a bonus and let you decide. But, to make things fun there will be different versions of the bonus downloads. You may get a live version of Amethyste and demo of Hideously Mutated Life. Someone else on the list may get a live version of The Burning Circus Tent and demo of Masquerade of the Macabre. We're still digging up tracks so its all a mystery to even us right now. If you want to post a comment either here or on the myspace blog or on the guestbook (www.TheMadScientists.biz/guest.html)) and see if someone wants to trade you mp3s go for it.
Think of it as the Garbage Pail Kids of the 00's. Meet other Test Subjects like yourself online and then see each other in person at a show. So, now with all that hoopla your wondering how will you obtain the downloads to begin with. Aha! First, you must sign up for the email list. There is a form to do so on our myspace page (www.myspace.com/themadscientists) and on our website (www.themadscientists.biz) We will email the files to you within 24 of the time you sign up starting Sat. Dec. 1st (if you sign up by Fri. you'll get them on Sat.).
