MANIC DIFFUSION is simply defined by their spontaneous style of songwriting and excessive enthusiasm to spread their music among the masses.
In other words, they're here to rock your socks off.
The manbro with the microphone, and quite possibly the one singing, is Anthony James. Made from barley and licorice root, he knows that his head will never get too big because it's physically impossible. His lyrics symbolize a fretless and job-free lifestyle and are meant to be heard by all.
Next up is the mad scientist, Eliot Bourk, the sharp edge in the group. Carving out vast swaths of sonic territory, he electrifies the audience with his mind-blowing riff powers and routinely melts faces with his transdimensional guitar solos.
Santino Battista, a visionary among men and part-time inspirational ninja, drops the attitude-heavy bass line that defines their funky sound. Watch out for his angry pissed-off look when he's slapping away.. and for the wood chips flying off his bass.
Finally there's the newest member of the group, Tom Grote on drums. From the homemade skins to the dizzying meter, Tom brings fresh fruit and nuclear poultry to the groove. Bring your salsa and your friends.
SEE YOU AT THE PAAARR-TTAAAAYY! I'm finally releasing music in San Diego and we promise to deliver the most epic set of our entire lives. Come hang out with us and feel free to spread the love! xoxo - Astra

Howz it been? Looks like you have a whole new lineup from the last time I was able to peel away and check you guys out. Hope all is well. Like the new (to me) tunes, sounding good. Hit me some time.
Just got your comment. Would've brought the b/f along, but didn't remember the gig myself 'til just before 8pm (too short notice for him, I'm sure). The half-dead hamsters that run my computer are trying to upload the pics right now. Hopefully I'll get them posted soon. I had fun, even though I had to keep my pants on. And I'll have you know that goes against my beliefs, as witnessed by my current status.
haha, thats funny.. ya, that's why i wanted to use the other takes i did, since they sounded live! whatev tho, thats tight someone did that.. give them a copy of "bitches" they wont think thats a drum machine!!
