A Brief History

 To really understand Richard the man - thing behind RIKMANDU (I would say 'brains', but that's a bit strong - mind perhaps, or what's left), you would need to spend time in a damp flat in Lisburn, N.Ireland with a musically gifted and slightly self inportant flat-mate, drinking Gin and Tonic, eating Vindaloos and fried egg sandwiches - whilst watching endless videos of 'Red Dwarf' interspersed by 'Star Wars', 'Akira' and 'Brazil'.
Copious late night drinking sessions led to serious band practicing and in Richard becoming the bassist in Eugene - a Belfast based band that went from rock 'n roll and Oasis covers to performing original material and the beginning of a musical career....unfortunately ends in clashes between Richard and his flat-mate over the design of the bands fifteenth album cover :-) ....or something bizarre like that! Eugene was tore apart before it even got properly started.
So...after aperiod of sulking and learning to play a guitar with two more strings than he was used to and Richard has reappeared in the new guise of RIKMANDU, armed with a new bass player, Phobic (who has a slightly disturbing penchance for black) - bleeding fingers and a drum machine
.....and so....the time for Rock' n Roll has arrived...
.....the band for Rock' n Roll is RIKMANDU..!
*CUE RAPTUROUS APPLAUSE FROM ALL* "...AHEM"
