Awesome, especially the Fox Masks part... Up in Flames is defintely one of the best albums of 2003.

Whoa. Happy Cycling, I was at this show as well. I'm glad someone brought this thread up. Maybe if you wear a Happy Cycling t-shirt to concerts, we'll end up meeting at some point.

so, what did you think of the show? what kind of music is he (they?) playing? does it sound more electronic or more rockish?

Hard to say, really. Many of the songs are driven by guitars but his previous album was very electronic. I can't really answer for HC, but I absolutely loved the show. It was very uplifting, actually. They had homemade videos to go along with each of the songs, and they looked like children's drawings. It was all very happy and fun to watch.
So, if you want a nice, positive album to listen to, with a combination of synths and guitars and 60's melodies, check out Up In Flames.
My top picks are: I've lived on a dirt road all my life Crayon Every time she turns around, it's her birthday

You don't like up in flames? :O The show is pretty much up in flames done live, but maybe it'll make you appreciate it more. If not, it's not like the tickets are expensive :)

i just gave it another listen last night, and well, i think it's pretty boring...but at the time "start breaking my heart" was released i wasn't listening to anything else...
hmm, maybe it will be different, cuz i kind of doubt he will have the band with him...so maybe it could be a bit more electronica oriented...
anyway, as you say, it can't hurt and the tickets are cheap :)

yo,saw manitoba at leeds festival '03 and thought they were supercool..ace presence with those masks and stuff & bands with drummersX2 always go down well with me :-)
subsequently got "up in flames" and thought it was cool, nicely produced, but didn't hold my attention for very long. the live performance is defo more interesting (in my opinion!)
