Menomena () is an indie rock band from Portland, Oregon, made up of Brent Knopf, Justin Harris, and Danny Seim. All members of the band share singing duties and frequently swap instruments while recording. History Menomena began as a side project of Seim's late '90s solo project Lackthereof, a project which still continues. The band formed in late 2000, when Knopf graduated from college and returned to Portland to collaborate with Harris and Seim [LINK: http://media.www.readbuzz.com/media/storage/paper755/news/2005/03/03/ListenHear/They-Are.The.Fun.Blame.Monsters-883761.shtml] [1]. The name "Menomena" was chosen for "the way it rolls off the tongue, sexually, or something" [LINK: http://www.tinymixtapes.com/spip.php?article2784] [2] and has no specific meaning, although it is often assumed to refer to the Piero Umiliani song "Mah Nà Mah Nà", a staple of The Muppet Show.
