Manual Scan was an American mod and power pop group from San Diego, active between 1981–1991.[1][2]

Manual Scan released numerous CDs, LPs and 7-inch singles, in England, Spain and the U.S. .[3] They toured in the USA, England (including a 1986 appearance at the 100 Club in London), and Mexico. The group’s song, “Nothing Can Be Everything” was included in the 1990 Columbia Pictures release, A Girl To Kill For.[4]

Members

The founding members of Manual Scan were guitarist / singer Bart Mendoza, guitarist Kevin Donaker-Ring , bassist David Fleminger and drummer Paul Kaufman, though within a few months of the bands formation Kaufman was replaced by Paul Brewin and singer Yvonne Simon was added on backing vocals and guitar. All except for Fleminger were former students of La Jolla High School .[5] The bands line up changed frequently during it’s existence, with Mendoza and Donaker-Ring as the core members. Other notable players included drummer David Anderson and Tom Ward, both formerly of Voxx Records group Gravedigger Five.[6]

Guests of note include Anthony Meynell, frontman for British mod revival trio Squire, who the band backed in 1985 and Jeff Conolly of garage rockers Lyres who sat in with Manual Scan for six shows in 1989.

Post-split activities and reunions

Following the demise of the band Donaker-Ring co-founded power pop group, The Shambles in 1992, with Mendoza joining shortly after. Manual Scan has reunited several times since 2005, recording a live session on 28 January 2010 with producer Alan Sanderson for San Diego based radio station, KBZT (FM94/9)[7]

Plan of Action

The art work for the band’s 1982 E.P., “Plan of Action” was included in the book, The Album Cover Art of Punk Rock, from Gingko Press. The E.P. itself was re-released by Spanish label Munster Records in 2006. In 2000, the song “Plan of Action” was covered by Canadian ska band The Kingpins on their album of the same name.[8]
