Manitoba, a sort of punk rock “best of” super-group, is about to hit New York City. The band plays a set drawing from past projects to which the members have contributed, including legendary groups The Dictators, MC5, Manitoba’s Wild Kingdom, Manowar, The Ramones, Murphy’s Law, and many more. Manitoba will make their debut appearance at the Light of Day Foundation’s four-day festival hosted by Rich Russo of 105.5’s "Anything Anything" at Asbury Lanes on January 13th. The band’s official first NY show is at The Bowery Electric on January 26. Plan on leather, loud guitars, frantic drums, impassioned shouts, and sweat, and be sure to pick up tickets for Manitoba’s unveiling here.
