Space aliens. Conspiracies. Revelations. Rock & Roll. Meet The Mansons. x:)
A fascination with the extremes of human nature combined with a common hunger to create a unique 21st Century rock & roll sound kickstarted Cassady Maddox, Dereck Cannon and Nikki Ponymeadow into action in the late 2000's, when the three singer/songwriters decided to pool their collective interests and hang-ups - and became The Mansons.
On Halloween 2009 The Mansons introduced new drummer Jules Hernandez, and performed a set with special guest vocalist/guitarist Simon Day (Ratcat) at the Factory Theatre for the All Hallows' Eve Ball. To coincide with the event The Mansons released a limited edition triple A-side "All Souls" featuring 3 tracks from their upcoming album including a song-writing collaboration between Maddox and Simon Day "This Day Forward" (Track 2) which they sing together as a duet. The sold out event was hosted by the annual Under The Blue Moon Festival dark alternative festival based in Newtown/Enmore, and also featured The Art and Horrorwood Mannequins and much more.
The Mansons are currently producing their debut album, with producers Kramer (Bridezilla, Leader Cheetah), and Andrew Beck (Modular Lounge, Josh Abrahams/Amiel) on board to mix. The Mansons have evolved their alternative rock sound to incorporate elements of the electro world, and swinging time signatures show the band embracing an even more epic sound and style. An explosive mix of classic melody and harmony, futuristic guitars and a monstrous rhythm section, the new material is at once catchy and cathartic.
The Mansons look forward to broadcasting to their audience via radio, internet, television and intergalactic transmission.
The Mansons' debut EP Blood, Love & Rhetoric was recorded with Andrew Beck at Damien Gerard Studios and limited copies are available to purchase from Repressed Records in Newtown. Nic Dalton of Half A Cow Records reviewed the release as CD of the month in October 2008: "They take turns singing the dark, fuzzed up rockers with lyrics that are both gloomy and uplifting at the same time. Then there's the very poppy 'Unmanned Canyon' just to show that they can slip a bubblegum-coloured dress on as well as the black leather... Maybe it's because the songs have such strong melodies and the arrangements are full of the right sort of riffs that make me think these guys have got something special going on... As good as these recordings are – and they rock! – I reckon it's up on stage that The Mansons would definitely impress. I can visualise the opening track 'Never Help Anyone' live and can see the fans going mental until hometime."
