Bio:
No one can deny the fact that environment has great influence over the music a band writes and plays. Hollywood has been the birthplace of so many bands in part, because of the great dichotomies present in this almost completely unique community. Like most big cities, Los Angeles is frothed with hypothetically exclusive groups that, in fact, desperately depend upon one another. The Southern Californian sun melts together the rich, the poor, the beautiful, the ugly, the talented, the wanna-be’s, the dreamers, and those who have lost all hope. Essentially, in Hollywood there exists an intimate community of the perfect and the diseased. It is in the lovely facsimiles of the “perfect” subgroup where an interesting enigma arises. Who are these mannequins? They are the ideal, and the unreal. They are the beautiful, and the unoriginal. In essence, a mannequin is contrived, and its design is motivated to market. From a squalid and austere factory come mass-produced, brainless, soulless, yet gorgeous creatures. Hopefully however, the mannequin factory offers a bit more ambiguous implication in its tongue-in-cheek appeal. Far be it that a rock band can be embodied by a name; playful in its pondering, The Hollywood Mannequin Factory is what it is.
