Words cannot describe how amazing this band is. I think it’s fairly safe to say that they just may be one of the best and most engaging live acts around today. Man Man’s music may take the better parts of Captain Beefheart and Tom Waits but I imagine a far more developed creature when I think of them. The Philly-based weirdos have created one of the years best albums with Six Demon Bag (Ace Fu) and just seem to keep getting bigger and bigger with each passing month. The mere fact that the band refuses to stop playing for one second during their hour long sets is an accomplishment in itself. It’s fun, it’s sweaty, it’s weird, it’s unpredictable, they play with spoons…what else could you ask for?! A part of me wants to write about this band over and over again (and I probably will when I have more focus) but seriously go see this band. Even if you hear the record and go “what the fuck is this!” GO SEE THE BAND. They will twist your god damn head.
