Captain Mantell
In 2006, Captain Mantell was born—an interstellar musical journey inspired by a curious coincidence of names. Tommaso Mantelli, the band’s lead singer, shares his last name with Captain Thomas F. Mantell Jr., a pilot whose mysterious death during a UFO pursuit deeply influenced the band’s creative direction.
With one foot in the past and the other thrusting towards the future, Captain Mantell has always been known for innovative sounds—a fusion of pop, rock, and electronics that has been showcased across six albums released through labels like Irma Records, Kiver, Record Kicks, Dischi Bervisti, and Overdrive. Their unconventional recording methods and experimental techniques have produced a dynamic, ever-evolving sonic experience, led by Tommaso Mantelli’s distinctive voice as storyteller and frontman.
Throughout their journey, Captain Mantell has shared the stage with acts like The Chemical Brothers, The Klaxons, Mouse On Mars, White Rose Movement, and many more, performing at major festivals such as Heineken Jamming Festival (main stage), Sonisphere, and Neapolis Festival, as well as cities across Europe, including London, Berlin, Amsterdam, and The Hague.
With its boundless energy, Captain Mantell’s music is an interstellar voyage beyond the familiar, into a universe of sounds where anything is possible.
