Mankind is Obsolete - Still right here

Natasha Cox has been the front woman for industrial band Mankind is Obsolete from 2002. She seems to play guitar and possibly keyboard as well, if the icons below are to be believed.

I think my favourite icon of the batch above is of her singing in a blood stained apron, which now currently decorates this post:)

Mankind is Obsolete - Rapture

I'd also like to register my LOVE for her red hair.

Mankind Is Obsolete: Interview for Girls and Corpses Magazine

Singer Natasha Cox and Drummer Jon Siren relocated from different parts of the US to Los Angeles where they met and started the dark rock band Mankind Is Obsolete. A few years later and a couple line-up changes and they now have two albums under their belt (Metamoraph and Rise). We met up with them and keyboardist Brian as they prepared for their North American summer tour.

G&C: It's a miracle you guys were able to come down for this interview because Natasha, you had a bit of a mishap last night.

Natasha: Yeah, our stage shows tend to get rather physically intense and I ended up throwing out my back and ended up in the emergency room.

Brian: How did you do that, by the way? We played a really fun show at the Cat Club in Hollywood and it was a really small stage...

Natasha: It was too small for me.

Brian: What did you do?

Natasha: Well, I think I move a lot. Everything is sort of a blur when I move onstage.

Brian: Natasha went unconscious. But she kept singing.

G&C: The amazing thing is that you managed to finish your show before having to go to the emergency room, where you spent the entire night.

G&C: Well, I'm glad you're OK and that you were still able to come down for this interview. Tell us about the history of MKIO and how you started out.

Jon: I met Natasha at music school. I'm actually wearing the T-shirt that helped start this band. We were both wearing a Sisters Of Mercy shirt, actually, and I said, "Nice shirt," to her in the hallway. And from that point on, we started discussing music, since we were at a music school.MORE
