SPANK - The 80's!
Introducing EPIC fun for our season opener - we bring you Tom Mann, Chris Simmons and David Shirley from Johnson City, TN! Founded by Tom Mann after hearing a careless whisper as he was looking at the man in the mirror. A voice said, sweet child o mine, you still haven't found what you're looking for so you must form a new band. Tom thought, "I'm addicted to the love of music so I'll give it one more try".
Introducing EPIC fun for our season opener - we bring you Tom Mann, Chris Simmons and David Shirley from Johnson City, TN! Founded by Tom Mann after hearing a careless whisper as he was looking at the man in the mirror. A voice said, sweet child o mine, you still haven't found what you're looking for so you must form a new band. Tom thought, "I'm addicted to the love of music so I'll give it one more try".
So, he got out of his dreams and into his car, and drove down electric avenue to find Dave and Chris. Against all odds they rehearsed and rehearsed. time after time, they played the songs until they said "sussudio! we got the beat!"
Tom was walking on sunshine as his rock and roll vision came to fruition. He called 867-5309 to share his excitement with Jessie's girl. She didn't understand his enthusiasm at first so he said, "come on Eileen, you know I love rock and roll!" She said "that's what i like about you Tom, you are a true rock and roll maniac."
SPANK continues to rock this town and that town bringing a celebration wherever they go. The band has been providing totally awesome experiences for audiences since 1999.
