Biography

Based in Philadelphia, PA, Man Man is an experimental indie band that incorporates Eastern European and circus-esque styles in their music, creating a unique sound. The band consists of Honus Honus (lead vocals, piano, percussion), Pow Pow (drums, auxiliary percussion), Critter Crat (aka Cougar) (guitar, trumpet, bass, marimba, vocals), Organ Freeman (synth, organ, accordion, vocals), and Chang Wang (alto sax, bari sax, vibraphone, melodica, flute, percussion, vocals).

Their style has been compared to a mixture of Tom Waits, Frank Zappa, and Captain Beefheart. Man Man is known for their distinctive live shows where the members of the band dress in white tennis outfits and don war paint. During their sets the band does not take breaks between songs in order to keep a constant energy level.

Man Man has released two LPs with Ace Fu Records: The Man In The Blue Turban With A Face (2004) and Six Demon Bag (2006). In November 2007 they signed with Anti- to release Rabbit Habits (2008). Their second Anti- release is titled Life Fantastic and was released in 2011.

    Experimental rock... From their first to their newest, no two songs or albums sound the same. I've seen them live twice and I think the venue is important. First time, they were phenomenal, Each member played 3-5 instruments per song. i was so impressed. Second time, meh. I'm sure it was because of the theatre style venue. I'm really looking forward to their next album.

    This shit is awesome.. sometimes they sound like Tom Waits, at other times Mike Patton and his various groups of weirdness, or something off his Ipecac label - Norwegian Cloroform or Kaada. But more often than not, they wind up sounding entirely different from anything else I've heard before.

    At least I have some guts to keep them in my library instead of erasing them just after discovering pitchfork. Also, I have 3 times more scrobbles, 4 times more artists in my library than you and I don't give a single flying fuck about your opinion.

    This band's main tags are so full of shit that I'm starting to think about how extremely stupid this band's fans are.

    I saw the rap album, but does the rock "Man Man" even still play music? Just curious.
