MANS RUIN was formed in early 1994 by Jimmy Black, Drew Vance, and James Hensley in Johnson City, Tennessee. Originally a 3 piece instrumental group, Joe Garber was added on saxophone in '95 giving the project a voice....The band performed regularly in Tennessee and developed a substantial local fan base.....they also were supporting acts to the likes of SOUTHERN CULTURE ON THE SKIDS, THE LABREA STOMPERS, SHAZAM, and many other underground bands of the time that were unfortunately overlooked......The group disbanded in late 1997 for reasons beyond thier control....Jimmy Black, the chief songwriter and guitarist lives in New Orleans and is currently looking for musicians there to play this music live again in New Orleans. He also plans to release a full length album featuring studio and live recordings under his label "7 Magnum" in late '07.....Drew and James still reside in Tennessee.....Joe's whereabouts are unknown.we surfed with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
