The culmination of two years of writing, giging and recording, Manflu’s debut album ‘Joys of Life’ is a raucous, razor sharp, and visceral document of a band at the peak of its powers.
 
Manflu are a London art-punk quintet who have a truly transglobal heritage; members come from Kazakhstan, Japan, France, Brooklyn and London. Their influences include Can, Siouxsie and The Banshees and Devo and comparisons have been made with Xmal Deutschland, Sonic Youth and Captain Beefheart.
 
Aza (vocals) is also visual artist who has exhibited at 55th Venice Biennale and is a cover star of The New British. Dudu (bass), Will (drums) and Pip (guitar) played feedback-drenched versions of Donna Summer classics in the notorious Disko Boy. Saki (keys), a classically trained pianist and synthesizer enthusiast, completes the line up.
 
A confrontational and unique live proposition, Manflu have played a series of residencies at various venues and warehouse raves around East London and have earned support slots with post-punk heroine Lydia Lunch and Mike Watt of DIY punk forefathers Minutemen.
 
Manflu’s ‘Joys of Life’ will be given a full release by Tri-Tone though PIASUK early in 2014, when it will be backed with a full UK tour with European dates planned soon after.
