Mansun / King Adora / Sunna / Mull Historical...
Mansun eh? When NME deigns to produce its next 'influences' issue, Let Loose and Magnum aside, it's difficult to imagine a band less influential than these rum Chester art-pompers. But hold up a second, maybe it's in Colin McInytyre's...
Mansun : Fool
And so Mansun's rediscovery of The Tune (not to mention The Plot) continues apace. Taken from the band's unfortunately ignored third album, 'Little Kix', 'Fool' sounds, in Mansun terms at least, deliriously joyous. There's a grand opening before...
Electric Man
Sometimes, like you, I look at Mansun and laugh my zip-covered orange jumpsuit off. But then I listen to records like this and forget any piddling, snobbish objections to their clothes, hair or regional roots. Like the bumble bee, Mansun songs...
Cardiff University Great Hall
So, what's it going to be, then? Another cruel, senseless press kicking for the perennial nu-prog whipping boys? And another Angst postbag overflowing with death threats? God, let's hope not. The last few months might have seen the critical...

Little Kix
"You come to the point where you've done what you do and you move on," said Paul Draper two years back. "There's no point in repeating yourself." Actually, Paul , repeating yourself endlessly is groovy if you're a monochrome,...
I Can Only Disappoint U
Mansun I Can Only Disappoint U (Parlophone) Taken from their upcoming album, Little Kix (a reference to the eponymous, legendary Seinfeld episode?), 'I Can Only Disappoint U' sees Mansun return with an efficient outing...
Chester Northgate Arena
You want some weird? Too late. Mansun have used up the entire European weird mountain in the six months since they hit Number Six with their 'Six' album. The new Marillion ? Thanks a million. But, mercifully, the suicidally baroque hall...
Leeds Town And Country Club
"In the unlikely event of an evacuation, please use the nearest exit..." The airplane-style security announcement preceding Mansun's arrival could not be more apposite. No other British band is currently making such a dashing show of testing...
