Bittersweet Manics

Bittersweet Manics' blend of melodic, alternative, "but not afraid to" rock, creates a sound that is edgy, contemporary and yet uniquely their own. Fronted by the evocative vocal presence of Sarah Hennesy while Brien Thompson's guitar combines with the tightly woven rhythm section of John Hage (drums) and Vernon Hawkins (bass), Bittersweet Manics have quickly developed and garnered an audience with the strength of their songs and live performances. Bittersweet Manics came together in September 2001 and immediately started performing in the Mid -Atlantic region. By September 2002, Bittersweet Manics had released their self-titled CD and kicked off a Mid-Atlantic tour including shows in New York, Baltimore, and Washington, DC. In 2003, Bittersweet Manics continued to burn up the music scene performing at CBGB's in New York City, the Hard Rock Cafe/Rolling Rock Town Fair IV in Washington, DC, and taping promotional segments for MTV.In January 2004, Bittersweet Manics advanced to the semi-finals of the international Emergenza Festival. The band continues to perform throughout the area, including a showcase performance at the Millennium Music Conference (MMC8) in Harrisburg, PA.Bittersweet Manics have garnered national and international airplay and media attention including the July 2003 issue of Bass Player Magazine.
