ManDown started out as a 3 piece with Mike and Ed playing a load of covers with drummer Phil.
But that ended when people started college and new members had to be found. After going through another drummer and extra guitarist we found two extra members to form our current line up of Mike, the Captain, Fish and Tom.
We got our first gig after talking to Cheez from our good friends All Else Fails who lined us up as support for Vanilla Pod.
So that's it so far, we've got our set ready in just over a month and we're and some final touches for the show...what a waste of time reading that was!
