With their debut release, “Charms for Love and Revenge” in 2000, the band’s unique brand of Brit-Pop influenced Glam Rock began drawing comparisons to Suede, Pulp and Joy Division. The band went on to play at The Whisky A- Go-Go, The Roxy and The Troubadour opening for acts such as The Pretty Things UK, Beachwood Sparks, and Slash’s Snakepit.
The band garnered international praise from journalists and radio stations alike (charting on most collegiate radio stations in America) and obtained the attention of most major labels including Island, Maverick and Virgin, with whom they arrived at contract negotiations before things began to fall apart for the bandmates.
Since The Mansions parted ways in 2005, the band members have been involved in projects such as Produkt, The Divine Madness, La Fin Du Monde, Siva Noir, Space Diaries as well as scores for TV and Film including the Sharknado franchise. Since then, there have been rumors of a reunion or, at least, the hope and expectation of one remained alive amongst their fans.
The Mansions are: Eddie O. (vocals), Johnny Burke, (guitar), Chris Cano (drums) and Chris Ridenhour (keys)
