I just caught their set at Amoeba Records in SF earlier today, probably less than 200 people there. Met them, got a signed poster. Awesome dudes, totally amazingly awesome show and they're totally excited about Coachella! It'll be CRAZY! Best band playing at 2:30 on Saturday for sure!

I was debating on who to see at that time. My first thought was Man Man, but I really didnt dig their cd, but they say they are much better live so maybe I should check them out.

If anything, it's worth seeing just to see them bang on random things and blow their plastic party horns like their life depended on it. They're amazing live.

Man Man are spectacularly amazing live. I really, really, really hope I can get my crew motivated to get the fuck out of bed, eat a quick breakfast at Del Taco, and get on the road from PS early enough to catch them. Yes, I stay in Palm Springs and have for the last seven years. This will be eight. You got a problem with it? Go camp with the hippies or stay in a Motel or Timeshare in buttfuck Indio.

Hey, I was at that show too... Don't I know you from somewhere...?
Anyway - YES. Man Man is insanely amazing... a whirlwind of percussion, jingle bells, bearded men, yelps and crooning and shiny things.. a fantastic live show.
And this guy reminds me of Eugene Hutz:

You won't have to worry, all other acts will find themselves hit in the head with drumsticks as Man Man pummels them with superb rhythmic integrity.

man man live >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>any of man man's albums
if i had just heard their albums i probably wouldn't be that into them, perhaps mildly, but no where on the level of how fucking excited i am to see them again.
man man and sharon jones are the only acts that i have straight up INSISTED my friends must see or they are dipshits. (excluding the epic headliners of course)

sharon jones is supposed to be amazing. soul music vs drum n bass. pick your poison. her albums are seriously excellent, sounds like true soul music right out of the 70s. I"ll be there no doubt. and then over to Spank Rock

they're playing in santa barbara tomorrow. i just had my radio show and i was supposed to give tickets away but no one called. you can probably still call and get the tickets if you're from the sb area and you want to see their show tomorrow.

for sure. call around 2 or 3 otherwise you'll get public affairs people that might not know what to do. if you're bored tune in to 91.9fm or kcsb.org

I'm really going to try and get there in time to see this show. I like their new album, and really want to see the live show. I always miss early acts though. Last year I was super bummed that I missed The Cribs. Hopefully I see you all there!

Easy, if you tell a guy "well... we could see this totally ghey band or we can watch a bunch of guys yelling and hitting things while they make awesome music" he'll pretty much have to.

First off, many thanks to Mr. Bmack for voicing out on the boards/chat about this band in the first place. Without his help I would not know these guys. Saw them at Coachella and they killed it. Saw them in Chicago tonight, and they killed it again!!! (only bad part was having to leave during encore to catch the last train of the night back out to suburbs). Very fun night. Was a much needed great show to dig me out of a streak of bad shows. Don't ask me for a set list, as I never have dug into their discography/ bought an album, however this will change after tonight.
P.S. Tim Fite (opening band) was pretty funny/entertaining. So don't miss him if you are seeing Man Man on this tour.
P.S.S. best $17 i spent in a long time!

For God's sake, go and see Man Man. You can't even imagine how much you ought to regret otherwise.
Rope in anybody else you can, too. Fun for all!

Bosco

They dont hit Richmond VA till the 30th, Rage.
I really encourage you to go Matt. I wish I could attend their Halloween show, I imagine that will be pretty crazy.
betao
10-27-2008, 01:35 PM
The show is Thursday, and i'm on the verge of going. I have an obligation that runs till 8, and thats when the show starts, so i'd be showing up late.
I'll try and convince my friend to go with me, its only 12.50 a ticket. Hopefully it isn't sold out yet.
Bosco
10-27-2008, 01:49 PM
they probably wont go on till 9pm or later. Tim Fite (the opener) eats about 45mins - 1hr.
If you go, keep a look out for that shirt I posted up above, I'll reward you if you find it!
betao
10-27-2008, 01:54 PM
Hmm ok, I'll see what I can do. I'll talk to my friend tonight and see if he's interested.

I got that same shirt at Coachella, and accidently got a small. I'm hoping they'll have it in a large next time they come to LA.
