Saturday, April 13, 2024, music enthusiasts in Houston are in for a treat as the legendary band 10,000 Maniacs takes the stage at The Heights Theatre. Known for their captivating performances and timeless music, 10,000 Maniacs promises an unforgettable night filled with nostalgic vibes.
[From WNYMusic.com] The band has covered plenty of ground in its 35-plus years, from cult-stardom to international stardom, to their current status as a cornerstone alternative band. But the sound and spirit of 10,000 Maniacs remains consistent. The live shows embrace their entire catalogue, and the lineup is still anchored by four of the six original members. Drew and bassist Steven Gustafson cofounded the band in 1981, drummer Jerry Augustyniak came along shortly afterward, and founding guitarist/singer John Lombardo, who’d never completely left the picture, was welcomed back fulltime in 2015. And the two “new” members have long been part of the family: Mary Ramsey toured and recorded with the Maniacs as a viola player and backup singer before stepping into the front woman’s role 24 years ago. And the new guy Jeff Erickson, the lead guitarist for a mere 17 years, came in at the behest of his friend and mentor, the late Rob Buck. - WNY Music.com

"This lawsuit by Trevi against Andrade brings to light again those same accusations that have existed for many years but it comes at a time that Gloria is now part of another lawsuit," said Tomas Mier, a writer for Rolling Stone magazine.
Mier said the lawsuit comes a year after two anonymous women sued Trevi and Andrade for soliciting young girls with the intent to exploit them during the 80s and 90s.
In this lawsuit, Trevi denies Jane Doe's claims that she brought her into the group to become a sex slave when Trevi was 23 and she was 15.

"It comes during a time where there is a 'look back' in the state of California where you can talk about sexual abuse allegations that happened years before and that's why this lawsuit against Gloria and Sergio came out earlier because it gave the opportunity to the alleged victims to bring these types of claims to light," said Mier.
As fans eagerly anticipate her arrival, the buzz surrounding Gloria Trevi's concert is palpable. Whether you're a longtime admirer of her music or discovering her talent for the first time, this is an event not to be missed.
