Manstrument
 
Seems like a good name for a one man band. Like this guy:

 


Any thoughts?

It does. Those guys always remind me of Groundskeeper Willie's one-man-band on The Simpsons where he sang 'I'm a Maniac'.

Suprb, current one-man-band Jawbone can be found here.

A short live set by Jawbone (not to mention ones by The Fall, Misty in Roots and Venetian Snares) can be heard here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel.../qeh/profiles/


Another current one-man-band, Steveless, can be located here.

I'm listening to that Jawbone guy now--awesome. He should change his name to Manstrument, though.

Hip Priest 01.11.2007 01:31 PM

Jawbone is excellent. I've never been quite as sure about Steveless.

Looks like Jawbone has gotten more exposure in the UK than here, considering the live shows listed on his website: all in MI or the UK.

EDIT: oh, it's a John Peel thing...

Steveless also has a band. He lives fairly close to me. Nice to see the locals getting a mention. Oh, and there's a new album out this year, you may be happy to hear Mr P.

Damn. Jawbone's that crack. Pretty simple stuff, I guess, but that's the charm of it. 'Bout time more musicians got so back to basics. I'm diggin' it.
