Mankind Is Obsolete Bio:
Mankind is Obsolete began with founding members Natasha Cox (vocals) and Jon Siren (drums) in 2002. Jon relocated to Los Angeles from Columbus, Ohio and met Natasha from Texas while playing in Pseudocipher, a Hollywood-based electronic group. During that time Jon joined Hate Dept. as their keyboardist/drummer. The two decided to write music on their own while continuing their duties with Pseudocipher and Hate Dept.
By year's end, MKIO's groundwork had been laid and several songs were already in the final stages of recording. It was at this point that new members were needed, so Jon and Natasha recruited Mark Nurre(guitar) and Jaime Roy (bass). The four rehearsed together several times and soon added a fifth member, Nathan Trowbridge (lights, sound, backing vocals). Clay has recently joined the MKIO team as well to contribute visuals to their live performances, which lasers, lights, and projectors.
Mankind is Obsolete released the six song Metamorph EP in August 2003 and have been attracting interest internationally with MP3's of the band's work online and radio stations in Europe, New Zealand, Asia, and South America. Along with writing new songs for the next full album, MKIO is currently building a fanbase through their dynamic live performances in southern California and their US tours.
