the monstrosity known as mancake was created when jason hamacher of frodus/battery fame decided he wanted to do a band in the vein of born against (at least thats how the story goes...or maybe just how i heard it) he recruited eric astor of art monk records, mike schilebaum of later darkest hour fame and fellow frodus member shelby cinca. musically i would say this is slightly closer to crimson curse than born against but i guess if you go back far enough it all springs from the same place doesnt it? anyways i saw these guys live in florida (i think it was sarasota or tampa i could be wrong though) with assuck and a bunch of other bands i dont remember...i do remember the pancakes and maple syrup flying everywhere though.....those were the days......
