Mansun were an English rock band formed in Chester in 1995. The band comprised vocalist/rhythm guitarist Paul Draper, bassist Stove King, lead guitarist/backing vocalist Dominic Chad, and with drummer Andie Rathbone. They were known for regularly changing their sound (and attire), often between each EP release—liberally mixing beatrock, prog, psychedelia, pop, and 80s noir influences—along with having a fearsome live act who drastically rearranged their songs for the stage. The band disbanded in May 2003.

HISTORY

Mansun were formed in Chester, England in 1995 by Paul Draper & Stove King. The band’s foundations were cemented with the addition of Dominic Chad, who was bartender at the Fat Cat pub in Chester city centre. The band claimed they formed the band to “get out of Chester”.

The band were originally called “Manson”, after the cult leader Charles Manson but were forced to change it due to copyright issues. The band gave several false accounts of this at the time, one being that they were named after The Verve b-side “A Man Called Sun” and that “Manson” was simply a spelling mistake which accidentally went through to production.

The band’s self-financed debut release under the name Manson, and the follow up “Skin Up Pin Up” on EMI offshoot Regal, were followed upon their signing to Parlophone with a run of EPs.

The first EPs showcased a sound heavily influenced by the prog stylings of the 70s, with pop sensibilities. Songs such as Take It Easy Chicken seemed to owe a great deal to the band’s desire to produce a good pop song rather than to stick to any particular genre of rock.
