((Maneka)) Band Profile and Upcoming Chicago Concerts - Oh My Rockness

Written by Patrick McNamara

Maneka is the math-y space punk project of multi-instrumentalist Devin McKnight (see: Grass is Green / ex-Speedy Ortiz).

Think fuzzy meandering jams that stop, start, skip, jump and flourish under a generous cloud of heavy purple haze.

It's weirdo rock (wrapped around some serious riffage) and real good!

Blast Maneka's debut album (courtesy of the always excellent Exploding in Sound Records) and enjoy your trip to Mars.

RIYL: any of Rob Crow's 1,475* bands (like this classic cut)

*give or take a few hundred
