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!

We’re playing Neumos with Black Kids and The Virgins this Friday and it’ll be our last all-ages show until sometime next year! We’re jet-setting to a super-secret location to write and record a new album and we’ll be taking some time off.
Get your Man Plus fix for the rest of the year. It’ll be worth it, trust us. We’re opening, so come early.

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.

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.
