Hers's a mention in The Vancouver Sun (Tue, Sept 8, 2009):
"Also on the bill was local band Thee Manipulators, who'll be opening for 100 Monkeys at The Rickshaw. "We became good friends," says Rathbone, as they did with Vancouver's Neptoon Records, where the band also performed."
Taken from The Georgia Straight for the "2007: Best Of Vancouver" (whilst interviewing our good friends/sistahs/roomies, The Pack):
Best local band, other than your own:
"Thee Manipulators. They sound like the Sonics, that total rockabilly, garage-rock thing that doesn't exist anymore."
Taken from The Nerve Magazine for Stephanie Heney's review of the "Best & Worst of 2007: Year In Review" (Dec 2007):
Best Local Band:
"I declare a tie ... The Starboys (Play more often you bastards!) & Thee Manipulators"
Taken from Absolute Underground Magazine for Emily Kendy's review of the "Best of 2007" (Dec 2007):
Best New Band Destroying Your Scene:
"The Manipulators. Greaser garage-rocking hip-shakers with 50s-vibe & black soul. Cute keyboardist too - we must be related."
Article from the Jan 2, 2008 edition of Victoria's Monday Magazine.
"Thee Manipulators brought the ass-shaking Garage Punk quotient up by at least 200%,culminating in a medly that included "Strong Come On" (edited)! Complete Goner Conciousness was achieved at that moment in the weekend."
