My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/4/2005
Band Website: manplusrocks.com
Band Members: Jared spent half of his youth in the heart of the Industrial area in Billings, MT and the other half on the Crow Indian Reservation in Eastern Montana. He has been creating music for far too long and prays daily for death.

Manat, when not playing professionally with chemicals, he plays with instruments. He's kind of amazing at everything he does, and he is our greatest weapon against evil.

Ellen, the Plus in Man Plus, she's made of sugar and spice and everything nice.

Ben replaced Ben II in Dec. '05 much to the chagrin of Man Plus fans across the world, however, in Oct. '06 he surgically altered his shoulder becoming the new and improved bionic drummer known as Ben 3.0.

Jeremy loves kickball, and booze. Besides filling the loveless void that is the heart of Man Plus, he plays guitar.

Christen is a former member of Last Great Liar and Knives in the Attic. She continues the tradition of superhot Man Plus bass players.
Influences: Translated: "Man Plus was an emotional and ritualistic band consumed by wild spirit--the band characteristically adorned its stage set with skinned pigs heads."
Sounds Like: A radio station broadcast from a very queer dimension where lovers are serial killers and friends are deadly witches.
