Concert Chronology 1976 - 2009:
The Shambles, Manual Scan, Bart Mendoza and Kevin Donaker-Ring solo concerts,
side projects plus TV, Radio & Film and Mark Zadarnowski
This is a
major work in progress -
ONLY 2004- 2009 ARE COMPLETE - Unfortunately,
until recently, no one in the band kept track of dates or such and so we are now
trying to put together a chronology and find ourselves way short on info - there
are likely over a hundred dates missing. If you have any data on this please
contact us. Anything from other performers on the bill to missing shows is
appreciated. For now, most years are very incomplete.
This chronology covers Manual Scan and The Shambles, as well as Bart &
Kevin’s solo endeavors, TV, radio and film project work as well as gigs
featuring Mark Z. Basically anytime Bart, Kevin and Mark have been in front of
an audience. Keep in mind that the earliest incarnations began to play house
parties in 1976 graduating to clubs by 1979, or senior year of high school.
