Manikins | it
Pop/Punk from Perth, Australia
The band formed in August 1976 as the Cheap Nasties. Their debut gig was at The Rivervale Hotel in mid-1977. They lay claim to the title of Perth's first punk band. The original Cheap Nasties' lineup was Kim Salmon (guitar/vocals), Neil Fernandes (guitar/vocals), Ken Seymour (bass/vocals) and Mark Betts (drums). Salmon left the Cheap Nasties in December 1977, to form The Scientists.
The rest of the band, with Robbie Porritt joining as lead vocalist, continued as The Manikins. The raw sound of the Cheap Nasties gradually gave way to a poppier, new wave-oriented musical direction.

There are two bands with this name.
1: A Garage/Punk band from Nyköping, Sweden. http://www.myspace.com/therealmanikins
2:
The Manikins were members of the same class of Perth bands (The Cheap Nasties, the Scientists and The Victims) whose members graduated from their own local rock and roll high school around the turn of the ‘70s and moved on. In the Manikins' case, they broke up, reconstituted and re-located to Melbourne and – arguably, if you're a fan of the sort of music we celebrate here – went on to lesser things.
There's something to be said for splendid isolation - and back...
