Brian Mannix

Was formerly lead singer of popular Australian rock group Uncanny X-Men. This was a Melbourne-based band which had a lot of success between about 1983 and 1986, then seemed to suddenly disappear. Brian Mannix was a classic rock band frontman - extrovert and energetic - in the ilk of Iggy Pop or Mick Jagger. The band's material was a bit light, though, and some felt their arrogance quickly got the better of them. Tunes included "Everybody's got to work (oh no, not me)", and "Fifty Years". Brian Mannix has also worked on stage in recent years. Show less «
