## Man vs Machine - the party band duo

Man vs Machine are two humans with electric guitars: Ben Maxwell and Ian Hitchman. While playing for a number of years in wedding / party band 'Sidekick', the pair realised there was a market for a 'band experience' - but in a smaller package.

There are plenty of great duos out there with acoustic guitars, playing the latest chart songs to karaoke backing tracks - but none really close to capturing the energy of a real live band. Until now.

Ian and Ben set about recording their own backing tracks, with this aim in mind. The tracks would be stripped down (no cheeky unnecessary overdubs), and all recorded from scratch. This ensures consistency, and reduces the 'karaoke' vibe.

With the addition of programmed light shows, a Man vs Machine performance is just like watching a full band - only more compact. Just two dudes, and two guitars.
