The birth of IDOLS

So, MANCIE has closed it’s doors for the moment. And although that makes me a bit sad, I’m also excited because there is a new rock band in town—IDOLS.

MANCIE’s most recent incarnation, with Lily Maase joining us on guitar, and Yuka Tadano on bass, was decidedly heavier. Andrea was writing heavier stuff. I was inspired by the heaviness of Soundgarden; particularly after that moment when I almost got an audition with them….

So, MANCIE closed up shop and IDOLS was born. We’re writing and jamming now. It’s going to take a minute, but the process has begun and plans for recording are underway. Rest assured, we’re not trying to please anyone, we’re not trying to fit any mold, and we’re not trying to get on the Hot 100. All that we care about is making music we like and bringing it out to play for you.

And that, in my experience, is how the best stuff happens…..
