Boring old fart with the aim to compose songs in less than one hour.

Knock 'em out fast... they're not meant to last! The NoMen have been around since 2003 creating original music from the ingredients of others!

Elastikbande are a brand new Manchester based three piece (post punk / grunge / garage rock) outfit featuring ex members of The Fall / Polythene, (Una Baines’) Poppycock and Rose & The Diamond Hand. 

Featuring Kate on drums, Luisa on guitar / backing vocals and Mark on bass / vocals. The band’s sound is dynamic, melodic, catchy and often witty. Previously band member’s other work has featured on The John Peel Show, BBC Radio 1, 6 Music and BBC 3’s Late Junction, plus covered in blogs such as The Quietus and Louder Than War. 

This debut EP was recorded entirely live in the studio in Salford in August 2019 to capture the energy of the group's stage show. Musically Elastikbande have been compared to a blend of The Fall, Pavement, The Pixies and more. These early songs are about everything from household appliances to stage diving etiquette. 

The band are performing at The Castle on Monday 30th September ,Gullivers on Friday 25th October and FUEL on 6th December in Manchester to support the launch of the EP. The EP was recorded by Paul Morrice and mixed by Paul Millsopp.

Hi, my name is David Minnick. I write and record a lot of different sorts of music for free and/or for money. Mostly, I like to make music that makes me laugh. I've been writing and recording music since 1980 (when I was 13). I've put out recordings under the names: The Sursiks, Oven Mitt Johnson, The 180 Gs and Zermos. I was the guitarist/primary songwriter for the Detroit ska band Gangster Fun from 1987-2000. I've written for short films, video games, TV ads, but I teach for a steady income.
