SHAWN THE OX Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 It all started when Matt McGuire decided to leave his hometown of Detroit and his band Forehead Stew and headed to Colorado and the Rocky Mountains and a life of snowboarding,But when he moved he soon really missed making music. And after a few failed attempts at forming a band with the locals in Boulder Colorado, Matt returned to his native Detroit.Still unable to source the right musicians for his project Matt hatched the plan of Anger & beer-fuelled-one-man-punk-rock by striping his music to basics, i .e. bone crunching fuzz bass riffs, thumping kick drum and angst laden lyrics delivered in a in-your-face almost evangelical styleMAN INC was born and he was thirsty for beer!!!!!his early live performances were at local open-mic nights which must of shocked the performers of the usual acoustic strummy strummy fodder that you tend to find at these gatherings but Im sure he was welcomed by the more adventures who dared to listen.Armed with his bass, a large amplifier, and an even larger kick drum, MAN INC's "songs of protest" have now enthralled audiences all over America and Europe, MAN INCs shows are a sight to behold. totally brutal and upfront his songs are brimming with self-effacing humour. "You've got to have that, otherwise you're just an asshole," he says.MAN INC targets everything and everyone from lazy Hippies ("Hippie Down!"), Christianity ("Blue Law Sunday"), mindless mob mentality ("Fuck the Team!"), to genuine happiness ("I'm so Happy [i'm Singing in a Major Key]").MAN INC is for real; his words and music will convince any non-believers of this. Do yourself a favour check out MAN INCHis music will take your head clean-off and you will love it!!!www.beerforman.comLIVE @ Dr DrakesSunday 24th OctoberSORRY ABOUT THE SPELLING!

Comptroller Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Caja's own 'Bill Ely and the Catnips' are one of the support acts on Sunday. Any fans of rat-punk or balloo-ing will be in for a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHAWN THE OX Posted October 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 That was a totally outstanding night with a truly blistering set from the ManTruly one of thee most furiously angry men on the planet who has one of the most unique rock shows on the roadReally entertaining!Also a great set from Bill Ely & the Catnips whose slightly unnerving set was just the catalyst needed to create the right vibe for the MANI had a brief chat with Matt just before he left he told me that Dr Drakes is his favourite venue outside the US and he stressed he wasnt bull shiting me He also told me he will be back in March 2005 so if you missed him this time you will get another chanceAnd dont worry Ill be around to remind you all closer to the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
