News

1st January 2012: Here's our cover version of "Mr. Tom Furby-The Furby Catcher" (originally written by Joe 'Covenant' Lamb)! You can download it from manticess.bandcamp.com and watch the video below.(Jutze)

18th May 2011: We've just begun recording a bunch of new songs. Yay! The whole process will takes months, but every journey starts with a first step, right? Right now focus is on a couple of melodic tracks, "Juliet Again" and "Last Goodbye". We're also producing a bunch of older songs ("Silver Case", "Here Comes the Summer" and "Lost in Broken Memories"). And if we're still hungry, "To Smile Again" and a cover version might follow, eventually. I'm currently preparing the backing tracks for some drum recordings. (Jutze)

15th December 2010: Our new single "God Save the Writer" is out today! Check out manticess.bandcamp.com for details. You can also listen to the tracks right here:

1st May 2010: All our songs and lyrics are now available at manticess.bandcamp.com. You can listen to the songs online. If you like our music, you can download it there - for free or for whatever you think it is worth. (Jutze)

18th December 2009: Two quick reminders: 1. You can still find our song "After I Have Gone" in the current round of Song Fu! 2. Tonight we're playing a gig at the University of Konstanz (Room IBZ II).
For this year's Christmas we're sharing with you some of our songs - old ones and new ones. You can either download all four songs including an inlay (zip-file) or just check out the individual songs here:
Falling Stars
Hero
Bittersweet Goodbye
After I Have Gone
We hope you enjoy the music. Have a merry Christmas and happy new year! We are going to release a new single in 2010. We're also looking forward to offer or old (and new) material as digitial downloads. Love! (Jutze)

17th November 2009: Manticess are competing in the SongFu song writing contest over at QuickStopEntertainment.com! The current task was to write a song about on of John Hodgman's 700 Mole Men. We ended up with a song named "423. Red". We also made a little video and put it on YouTube for your entertainment! On the contest webpage you can download the song for free and actually vote for us. But I think it's more important to listen to the other entries first, discover some awesome new, original music, and then proceed to vote for your five favourite tunes. Have fun! (Jutze)

4th July 2009: We're still alive! We've been hibernating a lot, lately. Julian and Ole have joined JODA. Susanne and I have been playing some of our songs from time to time. Now we've begun reccording some tracks. It will take us some time to finish everything. But yes, we're still there! (Jutze)

8th January 2007: Happy new year, everybody! We created a Manticess profile over at MySpace. So feel free to add us and say hello! (Jutze)

20th May 2006: We're going to play a short set at the Konstanzer Kulturnächte on June 3rd. The event will take place at the Kulturzentrum am Münster. One week later, on June 10th, we'll appear at the Auryn 2006 rather late in the evening. Those are going to be the first gigs with our new rhythm group, Julian (bass) and Ole (drums)! We're also about to release a new mini-album. It will contain five new songs. Stay tuned for details! (Jutze)

17th January 2006: After a rather long break we finally played live again last Thursday at the K9. We even had to play an encore! Check out a couple of pictures from the evening. (Jutze)

13th October 2005: We're busy recording our second cd. All in all we're taping 15 songs, so we can choose the best ten or twelve for the actual album. (Jutze)
