Manos De Plata

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 26/04/2006
Band Website: http://www.manosdeplata.com
Band Members: D. Lutz - Dad
J. Weller - Creepy Uncle
D. Johnson - Moody Brother
B. Truller - Shoplifting Cousin
M. Schumacher - Greedy Nephew
B. Fredericks - Senile Grandpa

Influences: Temperature, humidity, windspeed, barometric pressure.
Heartache, carousels, far off cities, perfectly cut bangs.
Electric piano bedrooms, guitar chasms, mellotron meadows, autoharp parlors.

But really it's always been about girls who love cats. And the notion that the act of sex is to hearts what death is to zombies.

Sounds Like: That thunder and crackle in your ears when you yawn. Quiet, then loud, and some quiet again for good measure.

We want to sound both as big and small as five or six people can in the space of one hour or less.

Also, someone told us once that we sound like Björk. This is silly because we are neither Icelandic nor pixyish.
Record Label: Not that we know of.
