Bad Manners, Mae April 5, 2008

Formed in 1976 by school chums who lived in London, Bad Manners have become a British Institution. Natalie Wouldn't features members of the Crawdaddies and Easy Big Fella. A tight, heavy rhythm section, dynamic horn lines, and improvised solos are definitive marks in their current setlist. They have found popularity among younger audiences as well as old, performing next to bands, solo musicians and deejays. The music has appealed to fans throughout Seattle's reggae, jazz, skapunk, soul and calypso scenes, and continues at each performance to captivate a dancing audience.

Hailing from Norfolk, VA, Mae (an acronym for Multisensory Aesthetic Experience) is comprised of Matt Beck, Jacob Marshall, Mark Padgett, Rob Sweitzer and Dave Elkins. The five-piece set out together for a musical adventure in early 2001. Folk, alt/country and emo rock combine for a charming and stunning result in Jarrod Gorbel's latest project, 'The Honorary Title.' Other band members include Aaron Kamstra on bass and keyboards and drummer Rob Draghi .
