Biography

In 2004, two men who have stints as being label bosses, pro gamblers, strip club owners, and pornography producers decided to peruse the next logical step in their life experiences. Jason Sidote aka Anthony West and Matt Moore aka Michael Yale formed XXX Maniak to find absolution and penance through true musical social commentary, which led to their acclaimed underground debut release Harvesting The Cunt Nectar.

XXX Maniak left little to the psychotically perverse and strange imagination. The synthesis of elements wrought with sex, murder, crime, drug deals and dark humor bring a unique tangible maliciousness to the grind game.

The core of 3XM will always be comprised of two individuals. The slime of life that formed the black heart of XXX Maniak though grew tendrils that extended out to include many contributors for the overall mass consumption to the Slimers?

The current status of the band is unknown due to a tumultuous period involving Jason Sidote leaving the band amidst rumors over whether he was left or fired. An email message attributed to Jason Sidote from 2006 is also circulated where he admits that XXX Maniak was in fact formed as a cash grab rather than a dedicated musical project and that he was in charge of the band, although the validity of this is unknown. The same year a confrontation between the two band members ensued in an SMN News message board discussion. (can be read here: http://www.smnnews.com/board/showthread.php?t=143710)
