Mansard

When rock meets reason.

About Me

Mansard is inspired by grey mansard roofs, lone chimneys, toppling columns, other symbols of decaying grandeur, and ROCK.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/16/2006
Band Members: All bass, guitar, and drums (programming) on "Who's in the Hospital Now?", "Super," and "Devil on Both Shoulders (Demo)" written, performed, and recorded by Jenn Gregor.All songs copyright 2006 - 2008, Mansard Music, and mixed, mastered, and produced by Jenn Gregor.
Influences: Bits and pieces of:
Rob Zombie, L7, The Jesus Lizard, early-to-mid Modest Mouse, Jonathan Fire*eater, Southern Culture on the Skids, Supersuckers, Unsane, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Alkaline Trio, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Ghastly Ones, Juliette and the Licks, Sonic Youth, Led Zeppelin, Danger Doom, The Geraldine Fibbers, MUSE, Martin Denny, Murder City Devils, The Moaners, Ethyl Meatplow, Dick Dale, Hegoat, Morphine, Shellac, Buttfinger, Metallica, Two Ton Boa, Propellerheads, Arthur Lyman, Les Baxter, early Poison, early Motley Crue, Paul Mauriat, Morrissey, Patsy Cline, White Zombie, The Sonics, James Brown, most 1950s - 1970s bachelor pad and/or exotica music, Mustangs, Falcons, and Trans Ams, an aversion and attraction to classical music due to overexposure to it in formative years, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Carolyn Keene (the Nancy Drew mysteries--pre-1974.)

Sounds Like: Rob Zombie kidnaps Southern Culture on the Skids, stuffs them in a Trans Am or two, has them drink mai tais and listen to L7, Supersuckers, and Martin Denny, and then he takes them to a haunted house ride at a gay beach, where the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Propellerheads run the ride. David Wm. Sims (bassist of The J*sus Lizard) photographs the exploits with a Holga camera, while Negativland makes a field recording of the adventures for posterity.
Or maybe it doesn’t quite sound like that, either.
Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: None
