When, Where, Why and how did it all begin?
Some say it was in San Francisco in 1969, others claim it was in 2006 in a garage somewhere in West Cork, many claim it had already happened, just in a different form, and still more claim it happened as an act of God. What we do know however is that Mannikin happened with aBANG!
They started with the closer corners of the universe, but quickly began to spread out to such farther reaches as Cork's Cyprus avenue and Cruiscin Lan, Fred Zepellin's and UCC as well as many other venues around county Cork.
Dublin wasn't spared either, and is only beginning to experience the unique blend of distortion and synth, rhythm and soul, and frankly ball breaking sonic energy that is produced by Mannikin.
The carbon based (yet contrastly different) life forms coming together under the umbrella of this rock collective are:
Noel Maguire: lead vocals, guitars, bass
Alfons Peeters: drums + percussion (he ain't never getting a microphone!)
Brian Casey: guitars, synthesisers, (general sonic perversions)
Another way of telling this story would be that mannikin are three guys writing, recording and playing the music they like, in hope that someone else might like it too.
enjoy!
