MUSIC JUNKIE: The Bio History of One Man Down
By louisasmith | Saturday, January 23, 2010, 12:46
One man down is a 3-piece Rock band based in Exeter and the South west. The band started out in June 2009 after leaving former band To Be Announced to carry on as a three. The trio is famous for their covers as well as their originals which they perform unbelievably well and always get the crowd moving. One man down released their album Histronix in October 2009, and is currently writing some new material for a second album. Exeter FM presenter James Santer gave One Man Down the title of Local band of the week in November 2009 and has said One Man Down are one of his favorite local bands in late 2009. You can hear them on James Santer’s radio show, Exeter Select Live Lounge frequently. In December 2009, the band appointed Ian Douglas as their manager and since then has been booked for over twenty five gigs in the New Year around the South West. They have also been offered the opportunity to play in America this August as a support band, travelling from Miami to Chicago for approximately five weeks. However, this offer has not yet been finalized and the band is still waiting for confirmation that the tour is going ahead. But one thing is for sure, One Man Down are heading to the top and have become very popular in Exmouth and Exeter. They are definitely a band to look out for.

I think you can see their upcoming shows at their Myspace link, pedigree_chum. Interesting story. Seems like the area is a hotbed of musical talent! I saw something recently about a new class starting in Exeter, can't remember where, maybe at the Phoenix? It's for aspiring young bands...to help them on their way... has anyone else heard about it?
