  • THE BRUCES the Shining Path
    THE BRUCES The Shining Path Alex McManus minted his lengthy and impressive musical pedigree all the way back in 1993 when he contributed "scratchy fiddle" to Simon Joyner's The Cowardly Traveler Pays His Toll. Since then, McManus has spent time as a sideman in Vic Chesnutt's band, he plays a variety of instruments in Lambchop, and he contributes euphonium and guitar to various recent incarnations of the Bright Eyes live band. But being a sideman is not McManus' main outlet - when he moves to the forefront, he becomes the Bruces, a one man fuzz/folk project inaugurated in 1993. Originating in the heyday of Shrimper, Catsup Plate and Sing Eunuchs lo-fi cassettes, the Bruces sprung from a scene that also birthed the Mountain Goats, Simon Joyner, Franklin Bruno and Sentridoh. In 1995 the Bruces released their first proper album (not counting cassette-only releases), Hialeah Pink, in a limited vinyl edition. Seven years passed with almost no activity from the Bruces (aside from a seven-inch and a few compilation appearances) until fall of 2002, when Misra released The CATALOG # War of the Bruces. That same fall, the Bruces evolved into a live band (featuring Conor Oberst MSR26 on bass) and toured the U.S. opening for Bright Eyes. The War of the Bruces marked a major evolution in the Bruces sound - the songs grew from self-consciously lo-fi bedroom folk recordings UPC # into expansive, fuzzed out pop songs that were compared to everything from Howe Gelb and 656605502625 Will Oldham to Neutral Milk Hotel and Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.
