Who is Mane Attraction...
Mane Attraction is a five-piece band from Northeast Philadelphia playing all the classic hits from the "arena rock" era. All the sing-along anthems that you remember, presented in a way that you won't soon forget! No hip-hop, no trip-hop, no grunge, and no American Idol sappy songs, just loud and proud rock and roll. Featuring classic songs from such artists as: Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, KISS, Motley Crue, Ozzy, Cheap Trick, Cinderella, Billy Idol, Scorpions, Loverboy, Foreigner and many more...even Elvis!
What "Out on the Town" had to say...If you are craving a true flashback to the 80's, then all you need to do is take a look at Philly band, Mane Attraction. Now here is a band dedicated to a cause and it's not just music…but we'll get to that in a minute! This band puts on that full production with the bright lights, big hair, leather pants and vintage instruments and they play the party anthems we all love to sing along to by bands such as Def Leppard, Cinderalla, Poison, Dokken, Judas Priest and many others. As lead guitarist, Butch puts it "Our shows are totally over the top, obnoxious yet lots of fun. We want to give everyone a chance to relive the 80's or to experience what it was like." I asked Butch what Mane Attraction does differently than some of the other bands out there who also offer a trip back to the 80's and his answer was "Our approach. We want to give the audience a show that is worth more than their cover's worth and that is why we make sure our shows are always high energy, quick paced and we play songs that everyone loves to scream and head-bang along to." All the members in this band lived through the 80's, so they know what people want. They did a lot of research by checking out other arena rock style bands to see what songs they would do in order to get that "Wow" factor and Mane Attraction is following that same path of giving people exactly what they want. Their stage presence is something you won't soon forget between the costuming, back drops and song choices, you really feel like you've gone back in time to an 80's hair band concert."
They have also been doing some charity events including Toys for Tots and several Veteran organizations and recently spearheaded a campaign to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. If you go to the Mane Attraction merchandise page and you can purchase a "Rockin' for the Cure" Mane Attraction t-shirt and 100% of the proceeds from these sales will be donated directly to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
So come on out, let your hair down and get ready to have nothing but a good time...all the time!
