	Mansun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mansun were a rock music band formed in Chester in 1995 by vocalist/rhythm guitarist Paul Draper, lead guitarist/back vocalist Dominic Chad, and bassist Stove King, with drummer Andie Rathbone, and disbanded in May, 2003.
		Mansun were formed in Chester in 1996 by Paul Draper and his friend Stove King.
		Mansun's third studio album, Little Kix, recorded in a Pink Floyd's old studio on a boat, was plagued by the record company's desire to release it quickly, and internal schisms in the band.

		Mansun have come from "nowhere" to where they are now so quickly.
		Mansun have lived life in such a fast lane that they’ve released quite a few ALBUMS worth of good songs and had as many experiences to match in only three years.

	mansun Mp3 Albums Review
		Sadly, Mansun are no longer with us, having broken up at the end of 2003, but this, their first album (the UK version) is fantastic.
		Little Kix is Mansun's third and final studio album proper, and while it is indeed and excellent record in its own right, it's not as strong as Attack of the Grey Lantern or Six.
		Mansun frontman Paul Draper once boasted that this album is 30 different melodies combined into 12 tracks and that there isn't a single chorus present.

	hip online: artists: mansun
		After hearing a Mansun demo Tim Burgess of The Charlatans asked the band to support them on their UK tour at the end of 1995 and these became the first big gigs the band had played.
		Mansun are still managed by them at present and they have seemed to have had a stabilising influence on the band's career.
		This, however, proved to be something of a non-event for Mansun who were due to be the penultimate band on the second stage for the weekend.

	Mansun - Attack of the Grey Lantern - On Second Thought - Stylus Magazine
		Mansun were an odd one when they flourished at the tail-end of the Britpop boom.
		I was convinced, for a while, that his love for Mansun was somehow symbolic of the ecstasy generation—they seemed hollow to me, an exercise in the postmodern remove, in style over substance, sensation over sincerity, in temporary semblances of feeling, much like the E experience itself seemed to me as an outsider.
		Mansun were a blip, a bizarre anomaly that could have altered the gene pool had they been strong enough to survive.

	Mansun's Lonely Love Song: Kleptomania Steals One Last Glimpse of the Band that Never Was - PopMatters Music Feature
		Mansun often seemed to be mocking, not just the trappings of rock stardom (which had become commonplace in the Britpop era), but themselves-the whole ridiculous notion that four kids from Chester could possibly be cut out for this monumental task.
		Mansun were unceremoniously banished from the top of the charts forever.
		Here, Mansun demonstrates that the band was every bit as chaotic and unwieldy live as they were surgically precise in the studio.

	Little Kix - Mansun - Read Reviews
		This is an ambitious affair by Mansun which, on some tracks, the quality manages to equal the ambition from which this record was spawned, while on others it goes horribly, horribly wrong.
		This is the third album from Mansun and is once again differnt from the last one but once again brilliant.
		I thought Mansun's debut "Attack of the Grey Lantern" was hard to get into and I still haven't penetrated the divine weirdness of their follow-up, "Six", so I was very pleased to discover that "Little Kix", their third offering, has gone in a new direction - towards normality.

	VH1.com : Mansun : Biography
		Arriving in the aftermath of Brit-pop, Mansun was one of the first British guitar-bands to depart from the prevailing styles of the mid-'90s, leaving both light,
		Mansun had more in common with early '90s bands like Suede and the Manic Street Preachers, groups that stood defiantly outside of the pop spotlight, yet managed to cultivate a devoted fanbase.
		But by that time, Mansun had been hailed as one of the best new bands of the year, and the record was praised throughout the UK music press, making the group one of the most respected and popular new British groups of 1997.

		And while Mansun should have been absolutely pleased at their effort, it was going to be an impossible task to equal the power of that first album.
		While Mansun was still an obvious band of talented blokes, they produced something more mainstream and distinctively more Brit pop than fans would have hoped.
		As compared to the rest of the songs on this album it is a failure, and as compared to the back catalogue of Mansun the boring and probably self-important melody is an embarrassment and considering the fact that Draper’s lyrics are useless nothing about Fall Out is worth hearing.

	Mansun : Attack of the Grey Lantern (UK) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Opening with the swirling, cinematic strings of "The Chad Who Loved Me," Mansun's debut album Attack of the Grey Lantern is anything but a conventional Brit-pop record.
		Attack of the Grey Lantern is a grandiose, darkly seductive blend of new wave and '90s indie rock, filled with phased guitars, drum machines, and subversive, off-kilter song structures, many of which wind past five minutes.
		No song is ever quite what it seems -- "Mansun's Only Love Song" balances between soul and fractured pop, "Stripper Vicar" has new wave backing vocals and hard rock chords, while "Taxloss" marries Suede's dark glam rock with uneasy psychedelia.

	CD Times - Mansun
		Ever since the shock announcement back in 2003 that Mansun were splitting up, fans have often wondered what happened to the legendary final album the band were always contracted to.
		Well, the remnants of that album were mixed together by (lead singer) Paul Draper and formed the bones to a release called ‘Kleptomania’ a 3 CD set from which this single is taken from.
		The song itself is a very laid back, relaxed affair from Mansun with a certain edge of grit to it that Paul Draper was always famed for.

	Mansun
		Mansun are growing too big to stay unnoticed by the general public for much longer.
		It is too unique on first listen for those that like their albums predictable, but can not fail to one day be recognised as one of the greatest guitar influences.
		Fast forward to 1998 and Mansun are already appreciated by thousands, to date they’ve never been media darlings tho in fairness, since they chart constantly, have been paid steady attention but it speaks volumes that there are approximately 50 regular Mansun fanzines and websites around the world (at last count!).

	Rick Lyon: Mansun Music Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In early June, '98, I puppeteered for a music video for the British rock group Mansun (not to be confused with the ridiculous "Marilyn Manson").
		A very interesting concept -- Mansun doesn't even appear in the video, just the puppets, which were like dolls.
		The basic story is a satire on the rise and fall of a cookie-cutter pop band: from garage rehearsals to club gigs to signing with a label to a huge arena show, to their inevitable ego problems and breakup.

	Mansun: Six - PopMatters Music Review
		All I have to say is thank god whoever was supposed to be supervising Mansun's follow-up to the mega-smash Britpop comedown, Attack of the Grey Lantern, was asleep at the switch.
		Mansun nick "The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" (yeah, the one from Piotr Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite) and marry it to lyrics about Stanley Kubrick faking it with the moon.
		But whole thing works because Mansun, even at their most deranged, can't betray their pop instincts.

	Mansun - Band information and album discography
		Even though they are part of the Britpop wave of the '90's, Mansun have always contained so much more than your average Britpop band.
		To me, Mansun are a little pearl in an enormous ocean of British Oasis wannabe's, but with a personality that's truly their own.
		Mansun has more in common with early '90s bands like Suede and the Manic Street Preachers, groups that stood defiantly outside of the pop spotlight, yet managed to cultivate a devoted fanbase.

		Although everyone knows Mansun as a brilliant Chester band, Andie is, in fact, the only member to actually hail from the city.
		Andie is Mansun's third drummer, but was their first choice from the beginning.
		But Andie, after hearing an early Mansun demo tape, refused to leave his current band (called Wondering Quatrains, for the trivia buffs) for Mansun citing his refusal to play "britpop shite." But once he heard a demo of 'Wide Open Space', Andie had quite the change of heart and joined right away.
