Biography

Mandy Kane started playing in high school rock bands but wanted to pursue a music career more seriously than his bandmates. Consequently, he filled his bedroom with home recording equipment and started writing songs. He says his songs are inspired by a variety of rock icons from bygone eras - from David Bowie (in his Ziggy Stardust era) and Alice Cooper to The Beatles and Pink Floyd.

Seeking other outlets to develop his musical and theatrical sensibilities, he joined local drama groups and rallied fellow outsiders to be his back-up band, with whom he cut his teeth on the live circuit, playing at local venues. He started sending his demos to record companies and eventually signed with Warner Music. He states on his website: “Warner Music was the only company willing to give me the degree of control I wanted with my own project.”

He recorded his demos in Los Angeles with Chris Vrenna, who had also worked with Nine Inch Nails. However, Mandy Kane and the label both thought that the finished work had lost something in the re-recording process. While keeping some of the work, they commissioned Tony Espie who had worked with The Avalanches, New Buffalo, Architecture iin Helsinki and Christine Anu to finish off the album at the Exchange in London. The album Tragic Daydreams was released on April 5, 2004.
