About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

ManInTheVan started in 1997 when an unfortuned whiskasbuddy named Zark started to live in his Van.The Van was parked on Cabezo Beach, El Médano - Tenerife. Surf was up.The man mainly listened to bands like Doctor Nerve, Stockhausen, Sonic Youth - some jazz from hell - and great composers like Penderecki and Ligeti. A lot of Flamenco Music too. Flamenco got it all. Edge, soul and spiritual aproach.When there were no waves, the Man got bored and played on his guitar as an act of musical masturbation. ManInTheVan was born as an unconscious artistical act from a tonic guy. But without recording gear in his Van, all beauties went up in smoke: that's the fantastic about music, ladies and gents.Think about the analyse of Fourrier ... and dream away in every millisecond! One can start becoming a freak when all seem to de-materialize. Sometimes one got to provoke himself and break out of his skin. So the Man came back to his beloved Belchique to start a career in Business and become fat, ugly and for all very very very friendly.Now, after being far too succesfull in love, money and other nuts, the Man bought himself a Van to return to his roots: musical masturbation.Feel free to enjoy the Van and loose some weight!A single ticket to counter modernity...Cheers, Zark
