Mechromantix is a music group based in Canterbury who write and perform material incorportaing a range of influences including progressive rock, electronica, funk, jazz and classical. Having used sequenced elements to a significant degree so far, we're currently working to incorporate live drums and keyboards into the mix and plan to begin gigging again in November.

The Wicker Man
This is a musical theatre production which we're writing at the moment. It is based in 18th Century Coalbrookdale during the Industrial Revolution and will tell the story of Thomas Wellington, Elizabeth Hodson and Henry Forgham and the struggle to build the Iron Bridge, exploring greed, love, lust, life and death on the way.

Keyboard Player
Having further discussed the evolution of the band and its' music we have decided that having added a drummer, we should take this opportunity to find a keyboard player to allow us to develop our live sound further, and to help replace many of the sequenced elements we have used to date. We're advertising in Kent and if you're interested, please
contact us. If you can sing too that would be great but it's not necessary.
Drummer On Board
We are pleased to announce that Mechromantix now has a drummer; after envisaging a tricky time to find the right person we were delighted to receive a number of requests to audition and from two outstanding candidates have selected Adam, who has previously played in bands with Andrew, our bassist. We have a busy few weeks to rearrange the songs but are confident that this change will prove hugely valuable.
See the
August newsletter for more information, and also
Adam's profile.
