Brian Mannix burst on to the Australian music scene in a blaze of ‘Pop Punk’ glory as the lead singer of 1980s band Uncanny X-Men, and in 2006 performed in the Countdown Spectacular and at the 2006 AFL Grand Final. Uncanny X-Men are known for their hits such as “The Party”, “How Do You Get Your Kicks?”, “50 Years” and “Everybody Wants to Work”.
