There are two bands with this name. 1: A Garage/Punk band from Nyköping, Sweden. http://www.myspace.com/therealmanikins 2: The Manikins were members of the same class of Perth bands (The Cheap Nasties, the Scientists and The Victims) whose members graduated from their own local rock and roll high school around the turn of the ‘70s and moved on. In the Manikins' case, they broke up, reconstituted and re-located to Melbourne and – arguably, if you're a fan of the sort of music we celebrate here – went on to lesser things.
