The Mantras

The Mantras’ music is a high-energy collaborative of funk-rock, electronica, metal, and fusion that will shake your knees and rattle your toes. Comprised of guitarist Keith Allen, drummer Justin Loew, keyboard player Justin W. Powell, bassist Brian Tyndall and percussionist Brent Vaughn; the band unified their musical vision in 2005 and has continued to hone their sonic direction and precision sh...ow by show. The Mantras continue to impress their peers and win over new fans at every turn with their instrumental prowess, solid lyrics, and unending drive to put on an amazing show every night!
Hailing from Greensboro, North Carolina, the band has been playing to ever-increasing sold out crowds in their home state during 2011, and are experiencing rapid growth into new markets throughout the South, Midwest and North East. In 2011 alone, The Mantras and their members have shared the stage in double-bills and direct support with Umphrey's McGee, Eoto, George Clinton and P-Funk, Kyle Hollingsworth Band, Papadosio, The Werks, Perpetual Groove, Zoogma, Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band, and many more.
The Mantras now have the ability to make HQ mutli-track recordings of their live shows available to the public. In 2011 The Mantras began compiling a large archive of HQ live recordings via their new mobile tracking unit, lovingly named R2. Sound engineer Matt Gordon set out to build this archive so that MantrasLive.net can be made available to the fans in early 2012. When launched MantrasLive.net will allow fans to purchase every show recorded by the band. Copies of the night’s show are now available to fans in attendance and for now all recordings are being made available to the fans on the night for FREE. The Mantras have released a small series of select shows on archive.org; again for FREE to our fans. MantrasLive.net in 2012!
