MaxMantis (Switzerland/Australia)

Is it a bird? is it a plane? No! It’s the MaxMantis Clan!

Three Superheroes united under the banner of the praying mantis, continuously defending their wild-west style world
against villains such as the Redback Bandits (Black spiders on horseback), or The Moth Hunters (a group of crazed Moths with no loyalties), last but not least the clan has an ally The Power Hen. Sounds absurd?….. It is absurd!

Behind the three heroes Jeff Mantis, Rex Mantis, and Bob Mantis are the three Swiss jazz musicians Lukas Gernet (p), Rafael Jerjen (b) and Samuel Bu ttiker (dr). Three unique high-calibre musicians, that through their performance of musical themes, jingles and free improvisation tell the ongoing stories surrounding the MaxMantis Clan; in other
words Marvel meets DC meets Jazz.

There are no rules and roles: A deep musical understanding between three friends and the pressing search for new ideas sees the three heroes transcend beyond any stylistic or musical boundaries- into the infinite abyss
and far beyond! Maximum Mantis!
