Spooky Los Angeles combo the Mansions began in the '90s as an American alternative to the music that was coming out of Britain at the time. Consisting of drummer/keyboardist Chris Cano, vocalist Eddie Olguin, guitarist Johnny Burke, and bassist Jeff Rodriguez, the band took their musical inspiration from bands like Pulp and Blur. The Mansions attacked the L.A. club scene with a vengeance and formed their own record label, Prometheus Records, to release their debut record, Charms for Love and Revenge, in 2000. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide
