May:

3rd: Band experiences minor turmoil. Maddox and Skidmarks take a break from the band for a little while. This will make the band stronger in the long run.

11th: After much deliberation, Maddox and Skidmarks part ways. The Abandoned Nutsack is now only the man who created it, No Name Maddox. This does NOT mean the end of the band. If anything it means a new beginning. Maddox will carry on under the same band name. Skidmarks starts side project. Relations remain fair between the two, though nothing like before. A sad day, but an inevitable one. "A change like this is good for me, the band, and Johnny Skidmarks. A year of tedious work and being inseparable killed us emotionally. And we need a break. A lot of things we said and did to each other were probably out of frustration. I'm sick of him and he's sick of me. It's actually nothing personal, but at the same time only personal. Together musically, we were great. Now he thinks he has something better. Whether that's true or not, we'll see. What I do know for sure is, The Abandoned Nutsack existed before Johnny Skidmarks, and will exist after him too. I wish him luck but I am admittedly bitter over the separation. We will release the final album we had been working on. It is almost complete."

12th: Situation with former bandmates is explained better in an interview with Maddox. Maddox says, "The next album is going to be created without Skidmarks in mind. I'm not saying yet if he will play on it, because I don't know either. There are things to be patched up. And they might not be. His role will be determined in the future."

June:

13th: Maddox and Skidmarks communicate for the first time in over a month. The band's future and Skidmarks role is discussed. He informs Maddox that he and Gizzly Addams have a band called God Bless All The Freaks. The two talk diplomatically and the hard feelings subside.

14th: Skidmarks and Addams invite Maddox to a jam session, to which Maddox declines.

20th: In a statement issued today, Maddox states, "Johnny Skidmarks is no longer in the band. I can no longer work with him. I'm not ruling anything out in the future, but for now, he is out. The possibility of friendship between us is almost an improbability, so the idea of us collaborating musically is dead."

July:

5th: It's been one year since Turn Your Head and Cough has been released. The band is going through a tumultuous time now. Maddox decides to release the final album with Skidmarks sometime in fall/winter. He will begin work on his next project shortly thereafter.

15th: Maddox meets Skidmarks and Addams for the first time in months. He turns down another jam session invite.

August:

11th: Apologies for the lack of updates lately. Maddox has distanced himself from the music for a while. Production for Leggo My Halo continues. Expect a release later this year. The Abandoned Nutsack will continue. The Sack will return.

you lied to me/and you said you'd never turn on me
you lied to me/but you did, but you did

We promise.

5th: The Abandoned Nutsack would like to wish The lovely, beautiful, Scar Ramirez, Buzzaroot 4-Life Bitch covergirl a wonderful 17th birthday. Happy Birthday Scar, we love ya!

No Name Maddox says:

Thank you for visiting the site. The Abandoned Nutsack will return better and heavier than ever. Expect a new album later this year, or earlier next year. Leggo My Halo will soon be made available. Also, I have been furiously writing material for an album of odds and ends, expect that sometime next year. So far 10 songs have been written. More information will be made available in the future. I talked to Johnny Skidmarks a few days ago, and though collaboration is in both of our best interests, it does not seem possible.

I'd like to take this moment to wish the family of one our friends the best in the future as they are going through traumatic times. Though not in our prayers, you are definitely in our hearts and thoughts.

8th: In the early hours of October 8, 1999, Johnny Skidmarks announced his intention to return to the sack. Maddox and Skidmarks met for the first time in months, and discussed the future of the sack. They announced their return in this statement, encoded, in real audio.

Return of The Sack

The Sack is back!

22nd: GREAT NEWS!! EX-DRUMMER NOW HOMELESS!!! Former drummer for The Abandoned Nutsack Jizzly Addams (Michael Marchand) has been booted from Johnny Skidmarks' home. The story behind it goes: sometime last week Marchand, at his job, killed a co-worker's pet cat. Apparently he placed the cat in a bag filled with rocks and threw it in the river. This atrocity was fielded by eviction from the Skidmarks camp. Shame on this horrible "human" Michael Marchand. If any of you run into him, be sure to kill him. Assault him in any way you see fit. This man deserves to die.

Info on Marchand:
Name: Michael Paul Marchand
Date of Birth: 12/2/80
Physical description:
bleached blond hair, eyes that have been made a lighter blue due to contacts, around 5'10 or so.
Education: very little but apparently the equivalent of an 11th grade education before dropping out late April 1999.
Favorite bands: 3rd Eye Blind, Matchbox 20
Talents: none
Notables: does a particular terrible rendition of Bush's "Comedown"
Brief History: Parents abandoned him, lived with foster parents before moving out at 18. Got evicted from that home. Once received a monthly allowance of 4000 dollars due to his birth parents local fortune. Is on a downward spiral that we can only hope culminates in death.

In other news, Maddox met up with Sammy Sackless at a Vanilla Ice concert on the 19th. They rehashed some old memories and agreed to "jam" in the future. We'll keep you updated!

26th: Off topic news: No Name Maddox met with alternative rock singer Matthew Sweet last night. He was great live and Maddox would like to take this time to promote In Reverse, Sweet's latest album.

November:

2nd: Ok, folks, it's almost here. Leggo My Halo is being completed. The album art, and outer appearance is being determined now. Expect it later this year, early 2000. It will prove to be very exciting.

25th: Yesterday, after 576 days, an amazing thing happened. There was a Jim Shitter siting. Yes, the man who played keyboards on the very first Nutsack recording showed his face. Shitter talked with Maddox for about 90 minutes. The band was never discussed. Maddox had this to say about the meeting:

"Jim Shitter and I had a great friendship from 1996 to 1998. I was more than shocked to see him. For the most part, I was happy to see that he wasn't dead, but in a way, he WAS dead to me. I'm not sure what he tried to prove in his visit, but I believe it was a great weight lifted from his chest, and mine. But I've moved on, I'm sure he has too. I wish him luck in whatever he does in the future."

29th: After over 8 months since the last session, and 9 since the last formal one, The Abandoned Nutsack reformed. Obviously rusty, The Sack churned out the classics. Swallowed My Tongue, Negative Attitude, Corn In My Shit, Fall Into The Sack, Fucking The Blowdoll, Sweet Salvation Suicide. Also included were "Corn In My Shiznit", the radio edit of the original. The session featured many skits by Skids and Maddox, and introduced Joey Oysters. Christmas songs like "Silent Fot", and a pumped up "Got Your ID Tag?" with Holyhan himself. New songs recorded that day were the rockin' "Return of the Sack" and two songs that Maddox wrote called "Irate" and "Dead Babies." The latter was recorded with only a bass guitar. Sound problems plagued The Sack, but the best is yet to come! RETURN OF THE SACK!

December:

6th: Website will be updated soon. Included will be a section for the band members to post. More news soon, we promise!

31st: Sad news, Nutsack fans. Johnny Skidmarks has left The Abandoned Nutsack. Skidmarks packed his belongings to Omaha, Nebraska. He left behind his bass guitar and electronic drum set. He is greatly missed already by all. We wish him all the luck in the world.
No Name Maddox had this to say:

Johnny Skidmarks has been a great friend to me. He taught me alot about creating music, and helped me greatly in our time together. I wish him nothing but the best. It is very sad to see him go, but at the same time, The Abandoned Nutsack will continue. I have enlisted the help of Holyman to perfect what The Sack intended to do from the very beginning. I believe this will signify the rebirth of The Abandoned Nutsack. Leggo My Halo will now be released in its current form due to Skidmarks' departure. We shall return a different, more mature, and more hostile, violent band with an even more powerful message.
