The cold, dilapidating winter is just about over and we’ve come out of hibernation a bit earlier than expected.
We’re debuting a slew of new material (for free, no less!) at the Cha Cha on Sunday, February 15th. We’re playing with Partman Parthorse, who put on a great live show. Be there!
We have a lot of projects in the works this year and we’ll keep you updated as often as possible!

Here’s a brand new video for “My Kind of People,” directed by our friend Mike Fleming! Enjoy it.

Hi!
We’re playing an awesome show this Sunday, September 28th at Nectar in Fremont! We’re opening for an awesome Montreal band called We Are Wolves, and our B.F.F.’s New Faces!
See ya’ll there! xo
As was stated earlier this week, you can download NEW music from us for FREE on our website. You know you want to… all the cool kids are doing it! Including the awesome people over at Seattle Subsonic (http://www.seattlesubsonic.com/2008/09/09/man-plus-remixed/), after reading the nice things they say about us (we think it’s the drugs) you should read the other things they have to say because it’s obvious that they have amazing taste over there.
Speaking of taste, you can get a sweet, sweet taste of what our remixes sound like live by attending Cheryl Water’s Midday Dance Party on the 13th at Nectar in Fremont!!! When you sweat through what you wore to the show, you know with all the dancing and whathaveyou, you can also buy our new tshirt at the show.

My main squeeze bought me Justice League Heroes for our PS2 and I am fully addicted. I haven’t been eating, sleeping, or working. Just trying to save the world as Green Lantern via my couch. I plan to spend the rest of the weekend with a pint of ice cream and a bunch of super heroes.
Moving on: You can download a free digital EP of remixes from The Hungarian Suicide Songbook. Where can you find this? Why, here: http://www.manplusrocks.com/music/RemixedSongbook.zip Enjoy, and let us know what you think!
Shows shows shows in Seattle! Lemme tell you about ‘em:
On Friday, September 12th you can see us warble through a few Britney Spears songs at Speared!: Britney Spears Cover Night at the Mars Bar. We love Britney, bitch. It’s gonna be fun, so come hang out. More details: http://www.myspace.com/manufacturedseattle
The KEXP Midday Show Dance Party is Saturday, September 13th at Nectar! We’re opening the show at 9 P.M. so be there on time and shake it shake it (but don’t break it break it).

More details: http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=295961&pl=NectarLounge
We’re playing the Seattle Weekly REVERBfest this year in Ballard on October 4th! The line-up is crazy good and we’re playing an all-ages show at Mr. Spots, which is awesome. Check it out here: http://www.seattleweekly.com/microsites/reverbfest
Finally, we’re playing a spooky Halloween explosion on, um, Halloween at the Comet. Expect lots and lots of spandex. Perhaps some latex. Maybe some nudity. See you there!
Hope summer went well for everyone.
Back to my game …

Dear devoted fans and mortal enemies,
So very much has been going on in the Man+ world that we’ve neglected to tell you about. The response to the new album has been awesome, and we want to thank every one for their support. KEXP has been playing just about every track off of Hungarian Suicide Songbook and I’m sure they’d be more than willing to play your favorite song on air if you asked nicely.
The lovely people at 3hive.com and threeimaginarygirls.com have reviewed the album and you can read those on their respective sites.
We’re going to be playing at the Sunset Tavern for KEXP Ballard Daysl on May 9th (details on myspace) and in Portland on May 10th (more details on myspace) but there are a couple of shows this month, too. Neumo’s on the 19th, King Cobra on the 23rd and the Java Jive in Tacoma on the 26th. The show on the 26th is for our favorite New Yorker, Eric with Indie Dino.
Last, but far from least, you can download the album on iTunes for only $9.99 (talk about a deal and a half) and buy the real life cd from CD Baby!
xo,
Man Plus, et al.
You can buy our real, live, jewel-cased cd now at cdbaby. If you read the write-up done by the Seattle Weekly you’ll know that the artwork is keen. So, make our day and yours by clicking a link and buying your very own copy.
xoxo,
Man Plus.
P.S. Come out to our next show at the Showbox SoDo on the 20th… Blood, sweat and tears guaranteed. Well, sweat at the very least.
