Details:
"Mankind Is Obsolete" is a female-fronted synth-infused rock band based in Los Angeles, California. The group was started in fall 2002 by founding members Jon Siren (drums) and Natasha Cox (vocals). Jon had recently relocated to L.A. from Columbus, Ohio to join the legendary So Cal industrial group Hate Dept., while Natasha had moved from a small town in Texas to pursue a heavier style of music than the classical piano her parents had encouraged for most of her life. By early 2003, MKIO''s groundwork had been laid, and Jon and Natasha recruited Mark Nurre (guitar), Nathan Trowbridge (keyboards, visual engineer), and Gordon Bash (bass) to complete the group.
Mankind is Obsolete''s musical approach has been to stretch across a large spectrum of sound and dynamics within a rock context. Melodic and passionate, the music blends driving rhythms and expressive, rich vocals to create songs that are introspective and biographical or observations and stories of the world around. MKIO strives to create their music with conviction and intensity and ultimately to connect with their listeners.
MKIO released their debut 6 song Metamorph EP in August 2003. The Metamorph EP has proven itself to be as popular overseas as it is in the United States, as online buyers have purchased it and sent positive feedback to the band. MKIO has recorded a video for "The Rapture," a song off of the EP and is working on a new video for "Still Right Here," from the new album.
Mankind is Obsolete prides itself on its DIY approach to music and has performed on two separate self-organized tours of the western half of the US in 2004 , which has helped to develop a relationship with radio stations as well as a loyal fanbase. MKIO has performed many notable local shows as well, including Day of The Dead at Bar Sinister, opening for KMFDM at the Ventura Theatre, Collide at the El Rey Theatre, and Pigface at the Key Club.
MKIO''s plans for the future include a US tour to support the release of their new album, Rise, produced by Gordon Bash. For more information, music samples and pictures of the band, please visit https://www.tradebit.com https://www.tradebit.com, or send email to contact@https://www.tradebit.com.
