about

Handsome Dick Manitoba was the leader of the NYC punk group "The Dictators" starting in 1975. The group went through a series of break ups and name changes but always with Manitoba as front man. This is his first solo release and is backed by a lineup of stellar musicians including P.F. Sloan, Michael Shrieve, Simon Kirke and others. Sloan backs him here on his opus "Eve of Destruction" playing harmonica, guitar and on background vocals. Manitoba was also an on air DJ on Sirius radio "Underground Garage" channel for 14 years, being recognized by The Village Voice as "Best Satellite Radio DJ" in 2005. Manitoba was also lead singer for MC5 starting in 2005, after the death of lead singer Rob Tyner and remained in that capacity until 2012, when MC5 finally disbanded after the death of bassist Michael Davis in 2012. This 2019 album was produced by Jon Tiven with a classic soul sound treatment.

He now has a podcast called "You Don't Know Dick"...and the best is yet to come!
