The Mighty Manatees is an American "Dreadneck" band based in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Over its nearly 25 year history the band has been known by many different names, including ''The Manatees'', ''The Mighty Manatees Medicine Show'',〔 〕 and ''Los Manatees''. ==History== Between 1985 and 1990, the group was named simply ''The Manatees'', and its first show was on October 31 (Halloween), 1985. At the time, the band was a duo, consisting of Will Hodgson and Ray Adkins, which relied on drum machines and sequencers. During this time, they released two live cassettes and two videos, including the cult classic ''Manatees In Manhattan''. In 1990, bass player Roy Truax and drummer Myles Rothwell were added to the line-up. The following year, the studio album ''High Water'' was released. In 1992, Truax left the band and was replaced by Rothwell's cousin Randy Wagner. In 1993, Adkins left the band and Hodgson effectively took over. From then on, the group, renamed ''The Mighty Manatees'', became a de facto musical co-operative which employed a steady stream of various musicians coming and going. On September 11, 2002, the band played alongside G.L. Brackett, an English professor and musician, in a tribute to those who died in the September 11 attacks.〔 〕 Since January 2007, Jim Cavanaugh, previously of Wanderlust, has been the drummer for ''The Mighty Manatees''. In September 2011 Andrew Geltzer became the keyboard player and Karl Frick switched from Hammond/Wurlitzer to bass, replacing Randy Wagner. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Mighty Manatees」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
