Band Biography
Philadelphia’s Man Man has an uninhabited carnival aura about their music; a style built from the remnants of dead genres, broken instruments and lost emotions. Frontman Honus Honus sits in the center ring, strapped with his red dress coat, black top hat, twisted mustache and gravely voice directing each act with reverberant yelps and his vivid narrative. The rest of the quintet creates a sort of recycled waltz with an assortment of rusty horns, off-color pianos, bludgeoned kits and anything else they can get their hands on. Obvious influences come from Tom Waits, Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart, as their music is equal parts jovial ecclectism and urgent schizophrenia. Man Man is a must for all connoisseurs of experimental and left-of-center music.
