Zodiac Mindwarp And The Love Reaction
Biography
Some rockers know from a very young age that their calling in life is to ride in limos and play to arenas full of Bic-wielding fans. For Zodiac Mindwarp, it was a calling that occurred later in life. Working as a graphic artist and editor at the British publication Flexipop, Mark Manning assumed the alter ego Zodiac Mindwarp, and set out to experience the fabled "rock & roll lifestyle" firsthand. Forming Zodiac Mindwarp & the Love Reaction in the mid-'80s, the singer has subsequently enlisted the aid of musicians with extremely colorful names over the years -- Cobalt Stargazer, Slam Thunderhide, Evil B**tard, Flash B**tard, and Trash D Garbage are but a few who have served in the Love Reaction ranks.

Releasing several singles/EPs during 1986 and 1987 ("Wild Child," "High Priest of Love," "Prime Mover," and "Back Seat Education"), the group issued its self-titled full-length debut in early 1988. Reaching the U.K. Top 20 album chart, the album also managed to cause a mild buzz in the U.S., as Zodiac Mindwarp supported the release with dates opening for Guns N' Roses (who were just about to break big with Appetite for Destruction).
