Biografía
Manual Scan was formed in the early 1980s in San Diego, CA. The first lineup consisted of Bart Mendoza on vocals and guitar, Kevin Ring (later Kevin Donaker-Ring) on guitar and vocals, David Fleminger on bass, and Paul Kaufman on drums. Througout several lineups, the core of Mendoza and Ring remained, and Manual Scan was one of the premiere Mod bands of the US in the 1980s. Releasing a string of singles beginning in 1981 and an album issued in both the U.S. and England in 1986, the band toured extensively throughout Califormia and Arizona as well as England (The 100 Club & The Marquee amongst other venues) and Mexico. Mendoza and Ring are now members of ..The Shambles.. (who are also on MySpace at ..MySpace.com/TheShambles..) along with Mark Z, formerly of the legendary San Diego band The Crawdaddies...Early in 2006, Manual Scan reunited (Mendoza, Donaker-Ring, Smith, and Young) for a special show. The reunion went so well that the band has since played several more shows,with Tim Blankenship on bass and David Fleminger, whenever possible... A number of Manual Scan's recordings are available today: Manual Scan's U.S. "Best of" Compilation, All Night Stand, is available from Get Hip Records (www.gethip.com) as is the "Lost Sessions" vinyl EP. (FYI: The band also has a "Best of" issued in Spain by Snap Records, Plan of Action. This actually has different songs and a different cover) ..Also available: Spain's Munster Records has re-issued Manual Scan's ultra rare Plan of Action 7" vinyl EP as part of thier Collector's Club series!!... New for 2010, Look for "Nothing You Can Do" on the new vinyl only collection, Idealized Youth... Out Now! Forty One Sixty: The Songs of the Shambles is out now via JAM / Not Lame, featuring numerous bands from around the world covering the bands songs as well as manual Scan's, including The Eddies ("Jungle Beat"), Afterglow ("Of Heart & Soul"), Mod Fun ("Nothing Can Be Everything"), Anna Troy ("31968"), The Kingpins ("Plan of Action"), Anthony Meynell & Sugarplum ("Confidence & Love") and Static Halo ("American Way"). ..Work has begun compiling footage for a possible DVD- if you have photos or film of the band, we'd love to hear from you. .. -
