Dear MANMfans,

We love you. There, we said it. It's out there in the open now. We love you.


Thank you so much for making our CD Release Show an amazing, incredibly crowded, silly, loving, badass show. We had a blast rocking out with you, and everyone keeps telling us what a good time they had. That makes us happy. We'll be adding more awesome to our pie chart now.

Get Some MANM Of Your Own

Missed the show, but still want to rock out? Our new album, Corporate Grown, is now available for purchase online! Scoop it up and give your ears some love:

iTunes
Amazon MP3
CD Baby (physical CD)

Make Us Famous!

Now that you have our dulcet tones flowing into your ears, we need your help putting Corporate Grown on the map!

We need YOUR awesome talents to make Corporate Grown big. Here's what you can do:

1. Give us a good rating on iTunes or Amazon MP3

2. Write reviews on iTunes, Amazon MP3 and CD Baby. Tell people why you love MANM! (you can rate and review in all these locations even if you didn't buy the album there...so we certainly wouldn't complain if you rated and reviewed us on all of them) The more popular Corporate Grown gets, the sooner we can get more awesome things to you (new tracks, shows in your town, and balloon guitars). Be our hero - help us make Corporate Grown bigger than Kanye.

Acoustic Adventure Tour

The Monsters are not Myths Acoustic Adventure Tour starts tonight and goes for the rest of the weekend! If you live near Pittsburg (CA), Sebastapol, or Menlo Park, you really should check out our shows page.

See you soon!

We had a blast doing this on Valentine's Day and got a lot of happy responses. We can't wait to hear your moms' reactions!

Wondering what's up with the album? Corporate Grown is now being mastered (that might even be done by the time you read this) and the next step is to get all the art and design finalized and send it off to be printed! We're super-excited to finally have this in hand and to get it in your ears...we put a lot of love into this thing. Expect more updates soon!





We'll see you this Friday and we'll talk to your moms this Sunday!
