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. According To Mansun's Kleptomania Liner Notes Frontman Paul Draper States That "Take It Easy Chicken" Was Their First Song And That The Band Really Did Not Know How To Play Their Instruments Let Alone Play Together As A Band When Steve Lamacq And John Peel Started To Play The Song On BBC Radio 1. The Early EPs Were Followed By The Critically Acclaimed Album Attack Of The Grey Lantern Which Appeared To Contain A Conceptual Storyline - Heavily Debated By Fans - Whilst Ending With A Hidden Track An Open Letter To The Lyrical Trainspotter Previously Featured On Three EP Proclaiming Sarcastically 'The Lyrics Aren't Supposed To Mean That Much'. This Showed The Band Didn't Take Themselves Too Seriously. The Band's Debut LP Knocked Fellow Parlophone Act Blur's 1997 Self-Titled Album From The Top Spot Of The British Album Chart. Radiohead Are Quoted As Saying At That Year's Q Awards That The Album Was "a Real Musical Achievement". During The Early Years Of Their Career Mansun Were Noted For Changing Fashion Styles As Quickly As Musical Styles. Such Styles Ranged From Punk Fashion New Romantic Baggy "Madchester" Clothes Army Fatigues A Clockwork Orange Style "droogs" And Even Women's Clothing. When Pressed As To Why They Did This The Band Replied "Because No One Dresses Like David Bowie Anymore". Their Sartorial Experiments Usually Brought Huge Derision From The Music Press And Wore Off During Their Last Few Years As A Band. The Second Album Six Was Preceded By The Single Legacy Driven By A Memorable Riff And Lyrical References To The Marquis De Sade. The Album Was A Suite Of Connected Song Segments Ranging From The Musically Intricate To The Plain Weird. The Album Included A Guest Monologue By Cult Icon Tom Baker. Several More Singles Followed Including Part 1 Of Being A Girl Negative And A Re-Recording Of The Album's Title Track Six Produced By Arthur Baker. Mansun's Third Studio Album Little Kix Recorded In Pink Floyd's Old Studio On A Boat Astoria Was Plagued By The Record Company's Desire To Bring In An Outside Producer And By Internal Schisms Within The Band. The Inevitable End Came After A UK Mini Tour In April-May 2002 Which Was Initially Promoted Under The Pseudonym The Masons On Mansun Fansites Through The Ever Mysterious Dark Mavis. The Band Tested Out Potential Tracks From Their Planned Fourth Album Alongside A Handful Of Old Favourites.
