Manual Scan has returned to the studio for the first time in 22 years and emerged with five new tracks that will debut on San Diego radio Sunday, March 14, at 9:30 p.m.
Scan (last seen tearing it up with members of the Penetrators at the latest Casbah Che Underground showcase Jan. 30) will be the featured band on FM94.9’s “The Pyles Sessions,” hosted by DJ Tim Pyles. The songs were produced and engineered at Signature Sound Studios by Alan Sanderson, who has worked with such luminaries as the Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello, Paul Westerberg and Weezer. Listen live at www.fm949sd.com!
Manual Scan comprises Bart Mendoza (vocals/guitar); Kevin Donaker-Ring (guitar/vocals); Morgan Young (drums); and Tim Blankenship (bass).
More information will be available on Blindspot Records’ MySpace page or by e-mail at blindspotsd@juno.com.

Manual Scan is featured a bit past four-fifths of the way through the show in the last 10 minutes….the tracks were I believe recorded live with no overdubs, and they rock!!!
When will we be able to hear the other two un-aired songs from the session?
I was out of town when they aired. I didn’t realize only three of the five songs were played! I must be honest here and state that while all the music was recorded live, the vocals (and a bit of tambourine) were overdubbed.
I think they were all played , but all might not have been archived -- they were played as part of the next show. Certainly “The Real Me” got lots of comments…
