Artist History The band came together in its first form in 1995,but eventually traded out bassists and ended up with Jeremy Wolfe. Quite an asset, as he definitely contributesto the tightness of the band. To make a long story short,in '96 the first full length, self-produced CD was releasedand 2 years later, the day before New Years Eve '98, the bandjumped on a Jacksonville bill with Alice Cooper. Since then mabus has been picking up the pace, playing more and more shows with the likes of Clutch, Drown and Jimmie's Chicken Shack. The release of their latest CD, a 3-song demo disc, contains their best and newest songs to date.Mabus has recently been invited to the EAT'M conferencein Las Vegas this year. Watch for these guys, forthey're moving fast, and could be in a town near yousoon!
