== BIOGRAPHY == === The beginnings (1995–2002) === The band was formed in 1995 by guitarist François Merle (ex-Killers) and drummer Daniel Pouylau, joined by Didier Delsaux on vocals. Manigance is launched as a cover band that includes groups like Van Halen, Pretty Maids, Toto and Judas Priest. The musicians compose a few songs to make it their first demo (recorded with the means at hand in the basement of a friend's pavilion). They then contacted Alain Ricard, director of Brennus Music, and offered to release a six-track mini-album. In 1997, Signe de vie was released in a limited edition of 500 copies.
