Mang

About Me

While Andy's band was imploding on Dust Off products, and while I was looking for something to do with Andy besides watching the Bengals' game, we decided to form Mang. The rules were: we would make one song in one evening once a week, and Andy being the literal fellow said we must have lyrics or words. There were to be no performances as they got in the way of making new songs. We originally decided to use no instruments, only found, homemade, or synthetic sounds. We were originally against Rock in Roll instrumentation, however eventually-at the end of our first CD-we found ourselves back in that comfortable medium. We put out our first CD called Fake Flesh and other Misconstructions, and the second release was a CD + DVD titled Sequel to Flesh. We have showed our videos in various venues, which is as close to performance as we have come. -Mark, Director B
