the common men

The Common Men is a post-punk trio based out of Sacramento, California. In their four short years together as a band, they have self-booked and funded their own tour and recorded two LP's and one EP. They have also performed twice at The Sacramento Horror Film Festival and have filmed sets of music for Listen Up! Sacramento--to which they wrote the current theme song--and Davis Community Television.
Looking to branch out into other Media, The Common Men shot a music video which premiered at Sac Music Seen which was held at The Crest Theater. Mick Mercer--vanguard writer and journalist of the original Post-Punk and Goth movement--has said about The Common Men: "there are touches of greatness all over this record, like Da Vinci has been groping it." Mick Mercer also published a small biography of the band in his latest book, "Music To Die For."
The Common Men have also shared the stage with such notable acts as The Prids, Mister Loveless, Veil Veil Vanish and Gliss. They have also graced the stages of notable Sacramento venues like Old Ironsides, Marylin's on K as well as Bay Area venues like The Makeout Room, Rock-it Room, The Blank Club and The Voodoo Lounge.
