Manifold... a somehow orderly name for a study
in controlled chaos. These atmospheric rockers make the floorboards heave
like a deck in the gale, inhibition burned away. Their followers
respond with abandon, emulating the bass player's supple joy --
watch as he almost disappears into the blur that's his instrument.
Manifold knows the irony of being a Tucson band that gets more accolades
elsewhere, but that's just us talking. Laconic singer/guitarist
Todd Alexander claims to speak for no one but himself.

"Todd Alexander."

figured out yet."

"Conflicted."
What
would you like to see happen on the local scene?
"i'd like to see all the great local Tucson bands
get the exposure and recognition they deserve. We've been out there
in lots of cities around the USA, and we can say from experience
that Tucson has some of the best music out there, and some of the
most talented and hard-working people you'll find anywhere. And
people (including Tucsonans) need to know that."
Connecting points:
"Che's lounge, Congress, 7 Black Cats, Plush,
The Shelter, basically anywhere I can drink."
