Man Man

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Based in Philadelphia but also spending time in New York, Man Man feature Honus Honus (vocals/synthesizer), Tiberius Lyn (drums), Clint Killingsworth (bass), and Steven Dufala (guitar/trumpet). Man Man made their album debut in 2004 with The Man in a Blue Turban with a Face, and Six Demon Bag followed in 2006. The eclectic quartet has played shows with artists such as Cat Power, Adam Green, Mirah, U.S. Maple, Aereogramme, Need New Body, and Bardo Pond. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide[more]

 

 

Somewhere between New York, Philadelphia, and the Holy Mountain, MAN MAN fastens together shellac, perfume, feathers, dirt, and blood, knits together Screaming Jay Hawkins, Etta James, 80s pop, Iggy Pop, Soda Popinski, Mexican funeral marches, religious cults, bad luck, and two-headed wolves to wrangle out something entirely else. With themes ranging from loss to love to mayhem and back, SIX DEMON BAG's narrative structure once again straddles the blurry line between order and chaos.[ read more ]

This record matches the fierce energy of their non-stop live shows, which utilize a variety of more traditional instruments (accordion, Moog, xylophone) along with such noisemakers as soup pots, shoes, squeaky toys, and a fire extinguisher. With a following that sells out clubs coast to coast and with a kinetic stage presence, Man Man are a musical contagion waiting to happen.   [ read more ]

Three-song EP. Man Man's precise instrumentation and eclectic beats will wow you into next week. With a diverse array of instruments including xylophone, trumpet, dual keys, and bongos, along with Honus Honus' vocals (think early Tom Waits/Captain Beefheart/Zappa), Man Man can be described as crazy circus music on acid! 'The members of Man Man are always holding, shaking, or blowing some noisemaker-- adding layers of sound to their oddball waltzes. The pace is so furious that just watching the performances    [ read more ]
