THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BAND LIKE THIS.

About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Twas very, very cold one day and Manton had an epiphany.
He decided that it was time to start a band. Why? Because it was time. And so, he did. This is the virtual fruit of those labours. Naturally, actually seeing the band is the only way to truly cast judgement. This virtual world, well, it will always leave something to be desired. There are many here who create megalomaniatic labrynthine sites, complete with tits and ass, and that's OK. But it doesn't really mean anything. Manton has always drawn a line in the sand: Shit, or get off the pot. That's his motto. This band doesn't have a ghost of a chance here, but on a stage, they'll fight it out like David and by the power of Fiat will beat any pasty, Jowelly Goliath. That's becasue The Mantons are lean and mean. Nobody has ever given them an inch; they probably never will. That's because people are afraid of a band that tells it like it is. But, in the end, The Mantons Do The Thing That Must Be Done. They are Here, for You. Enjoy.

snapped?

Okay.  So, the yahoo company has yet again gone ahead and changed their format.  the change is small, so one doesn't easily notice it.  I'm thinking it's becoming like cars - giving you...

something to write home about!

Well, tonight was really a night to remember.  The Mantons did indeed play Club Bart.  And the irony to it all is this:  We played one of our best shows ever.  That's right, folks:...

Suez Motel -- the rest of the story..

Well.  I had a very productive week.  Fixed a lot of cars, a lot of boils were lanced.  Two impossible car issues were handled.  Believe it or not, they both needed computers. ...

thank you so much!

A couple of months ago, the driver’s door lock to the Jedi Mind Trickfroze and the linkage separated.  So, I had to break into the carwith a coat hanger.  It was a GREAT morning. ...

correction

I corrected the last blog about the Blowout.  I stupidly forgot to mention that my wife, Tammy, comes to pretty much all of my shows, listens to my music, and cares deeply about my welfare. ...
