The new album
Jun - Nov2004
We are currently working on our first studio
produced album! The plan is for it to feature all
the Michaels' classics from our last three
projects (and a few extras!). Current
track list includes: Pullin, Spraymount, Fiddle
Away, History of the Band, Roundabout, Grass
Stage, It Aint right, Peter's hat, Private
Property and the new ones: Sardinia,
Homosexuality, Boxer Short Abyss, Kevin Bacon and
Fiddle this Bitch. Anyone with ideas for a name
for the new album can post em on the message board
and we'll check em out. In the meantime, please
feel free to stare in awe at this photo of Jacoby
for a while>>>
UPDATE: Oct 04
It's been decided
that the new album will be self
titled so you can all stop your
frantic posts on the message
board. There will also be an
accompanying CD called best of
Michaels' B-sides containing all
the tracks we worked too hard on
to cut but for whatever reason
didn't make it to the main album.
Release date expected to be this
November.
UPDATE: Nov 04
The new
album is finished and is in your proverbial shops
NOW! The currently available version does not
contain the best of michaels' @ maximum B-sides.
This extra CD won't be available for another month
or two. However, if you'd like a copy of the
fantastic album, click
here and
follow the instructions! It's great!
Track list:
01 Grass Stage
02
It ain't Right
03
Boxer Short

06
The Epic in Gminor

UPDATE: Jun 05
It turns
out we're too lazy to record the best of michaels'
@ maximum B-sides CD so you'll all have to wait
for the next album to hear the other tracks.
Hardcore fans should click here and send us an
email for a sneak peak.

A Holy Padlock Ď
17th April 2004
The
Michaels are playing at the
wedding reception of Hugh Jones
and Ruth Drennan this April 17th!
Hugh is pictured here in his
Mitsubishi Lancer, a little sweaty
after a long game of football in
the local sports centre. Hugh asked the Michaels to play as a joke on the
spur of the moment at a New Years
eve party, however the Michaels graciously
accepted before the accidental
invitation could be retracted, and
so, in Corrick House in Clogher,
Co. Monaghan this April 17th, the
Michaels will play to over 100
unsuspecting guests. The set list
includes Pullin, Fiddle Away, The
Grass Stage, Peters Hat, Sardinia,
History of the Band and Spraymount.

Sardinia!
The Land of the Nuraghi
6th Febuary 2004
You'll all be delighted to hear that Michaels' @
Maximum are flying off to Sardinia... the land of
the nuraghi this Feb 6th for the General's 21st
birthday! They've already written a song based on
the mysterious venture and accompanied by locally
born all Ireland accordion champion, Donal Regan,
who knows what might unfold in this enchanting
land?
If you're thinking:
Where the hell is Sardinia you freaks? -
Click here
I'd like some more information on this mysterious
sounding ancient Catalan territory that is the
land of the nuraghi -
Click here
I wonder how the Michaels got on in this ancient
land? -

Emily
Maximum - Biggest fan - 2003
 |
michaels' @ maximum
- FANtastic!
December 2003
Literally, michaels' @ maximum No. 1
Fan!, The one and only, Emily
White from Portmarnock! Unconfirmed
sources say that Emily has more
of the bands albums than the lead
singer! Emily's favourite tracks
include Fiddle Away, Pullin and The
Rabbit. On bumping into the band's
lead singer in town, she asked with a
gasp: "are you the lead singer from
michaels' @ maximum?!!?", "Yes,
Maximum Jones at your service" he
replied, "but you can call me Eoin".
Pictured here sporting Peter's
hat, and sitting with Dorkus, Emily
has truly earned the title of honorary
Michael through her strong commitment
to the band.
Thanks Emily!
