Paul Feitzinger and Colin Sanderson were both students at Marymount Manhattan College where they met in a songwriting class in the fall of 2006. The two immediately felt a musical kinship and prided themselves on producing some of the weirder "songs" to come out of the class (e.g. Colin ended up writing a 11 minute socio-political satire entitled "Cheese Wars Parts 1 and 2" for his final project, and Paul constructed a piece out of the sound of computer glitches). Colin hooked Paul up with his friend Dave Kadden, and the three commenced a series of jam sessions over the course of a year that would prove to be the seeds to Manburger Surgical. When Dave left for a year long ethnomusicological sojourn to South East Asia, Paul and Colin decided to forge out on their own and form a proper band. The name Manburger Surgical comes from a surgical supply store named Marburger Surgical that Colin would pass by on the way to his guitar instructor's studio, which he consistently read wrong out of the corner of his eye. Since the fall of 2007, Paul and Colin have been working under that name, and have constructed and conceptualized a string of recordings and concerts which speak to their love of psychedelia, devil-may-care experimentalism, ventriloquism and puppetry, performance art, free improvisation, progressive rock, theater, and all around freaky good vibes. In Winter 2010, Mike Battaglia joined MNBGR on bass, sitar and melodica, and the group is composing and performing their most exciting and dynamic music to date! <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Manburger+Surgical">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
