HERE IS WHAT THE WEEKLY PLANET HAD TO SAY ABOUT ME AND MY 4 BLACK DAUGHTERS:
Mants
Mants
This Clearwater outfit (which features a couple of the guys from the late, less adventurous Skyline) plays an idiosyncratic style of indie-rock. You can hear lots of influences, but Mants doesn't sound like anybody, thank you very much, and manages to come off as both meandering/angular/experimental and muscular/anthemic/melodic, occasionally within the same tune: "A Tin Deal" and "Svengali" best bridge both worlds. Those who like standard 4/4 riffs are gonna be confused, and the vocals are studiedly amateurish. Overall, however, this is interesting and above-average bombastic post-punk that follows its own muse. (themants@hotmail.com) 3 out of 5 planets

That address will be completely irrelevant in a week, though. So GO FAST.
And it's friday and things are okay. I'm going to see Sin City tonight.
And we're playing at the Emerald Bar tomorrow night. April 2nd, 2005. 21+. $3, I think. ENJOY
