While we're quite pleased with our first six-song, self-titled EP, recorded at The Tank Studio, we're also happy to announce that we'll be heading back to The Tank for another session from July through August. We'll be recording some new songs as well as some faves that didn't make it onto the first disc.
Stay tuned for updates!
Random Manor is Don Short, lead vocal and guitars, Mark Mosholder, bass and backing vocals, and Rick Bourgoin, drums, together performing songs written by Short and arranged by the band.
Short was a founding member and a singer/songwriter for The Heats (previously The Heaters), the groundbreaking Seattle band that released the album "Have An Idea" in 1980 and the live album "Burnin' Live" in 1982. Their song, "In Your Town", written by Short and produced by Ann Wilson of Heart, became an MTV video running through the spring and summer of 1982.
Bourgoin joined Short in The Heats, playing drums for the band from early 1982 until their break up on New Years Eve in 1983. A musical bond, as well as a lifelong friendship was formed; when the two added Mark Mosholder on bass, a new band, as well as another lifelong friendship, was formed; That six-piece band, Avalon, performed throughout the Seattle area from 1984-1988. The band drew interest from several major record labels, including Ahmet Ertegun's Atlantic Records, who funded production of an eighteen song demo at Seattle's London Bridge Studios. In '88, Avalon stripped down to four members and became Luna Park. When Rick moved to L.A. in 1990, they continued as Living Out Loud. The band broke up in '91, though Don, Rick and Mark remained close friends.
While Mark and Rick continued to play music in various bands throughout the Northwest, California, Colorado and Texas, Don took a hiatus from writing and performing music. Happily, after twelve years, Don picked up his guitar and began playing and writing songs again; songs that are "Random Manor". The songs and the musicianship speak for themselves; we invite you to listen and discover for yourself what Random Manor is all about.
