yeah, the Finnish one, didn't know there was more than one. Manitou isn't exactly a great name for a band so I had hoped only one band would use it, ha

actually, many years ago when a friends' younger twin brothers were starting a thrash metal band, I offered them the name 'Manitou' when they couldn't think of anything else. After I explained what a Manitou was, they loved the idea. Of course their band never made it outside their practice space, nor more than an original song or two (no lyrics). But I've always thought Manitou was a great name for a metal band.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manitou - for anyone curious.
And I have yet to hear this Finnish band you're referring to. I'd be interested to know what they sound like.
ah - here they are... http://www.myspace.com/manitouband ...a bit more melodic than I would have imagined. But not bad at all.
Sorry Hoyt didn't mean to reign on your parade ;-) It does have a cool meaning but it makes me thinks of the cute sea mammal, ha.

hmmm... you mean a manatee? thought never crossed my mind - especially 16 or 17 years ago when I thought it was a killer name for a band.
Hell yes! They are in my list in the "who do you REALLY want to see at PP" thread. Great band - wish they would get more recognition...

I'm spinning up No Signs of Wisdom as I type this. I'm through track three. If this disc doesn't fade terribly down the stretch, it's definitely going on my buy list.
