A big thanks to the Baltimore Blog, Pasta Primavera, for a mention in their Toofer Toosday post this week. Check them out on the web by following the above links!!!!!
“Man Plus get their name form a science fiction novel by Frederick Kohl where a man slowly becomes a cyborg so he can live on Mars. Well the band isn’t from Mars, but from Seattle, and they’re not cyborgs (though I could be wrong). Instead their a five piece band that sounds like electronics shaing hands with drums that pat male/female(Jared and Ellen) duo vocals on the back. Jared’s voice wavers between po and aggressive often complementing the rhythm of each song while Ellen’s calm vocals sway with the musical patterns that underly them. Man Plus plays BEASTLY/light indie rock…or bi polar indie rock…or something else that I haven’t thought of yet…hmmm…it’s good. And they’ve got a new album out called The Hungarian Suicide Songbook…go get it!”
The folks over at Pasta Primavera are right – you should go get our album, Hungarian Suicide Songbook, it’s on cdbaby, myspace and iTunes. You can also check it out on lastfm.com as well.
FINALLY, we’re gearing up for a couple of shows we’re playing over the next two weeks: Hard Candy @ King Cobra tomorrow night (4.23); Saturday 4.26 @ Bob’s World Famous Java Jive in Tacoma; the Ballard Music Festival, Friday 5/9; and last, but far from least, we’ll be in Portland on 5/10 playing the Towne Lounge (we can’t wait to kick it with our PDX friends!!) More details on covers and full bills, as always, at myspace.com/manplus.

Excerpt from the blog – click the link to check out the full story.
“If you were to leave today on a voyage to Mars (or just spend the evening hanging out in your room), you might want to grab a copy of Man Plus‘ My Kind of People
for the journey. The song’s pop rhythms have the power to lift you out of a funk, but its dark lyrics let you retain some of the angst. Jared Mills’ husky repetitive lyrics will have you singing along while the high energy guitar riffs and spacey synths will get your toes tapping. “
