A vaudevillian-viking rock group by the name of Man Man from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was recently chosen to open for Modest Mouse on their US tour. Now that the playfully costumed group has gotten more exposure, they’re heading out on their own. Led by honky-tonk keyboardist Honus Honus, Man Man is known for multi-instrumentation and an oddball flair, a quirky pop style that leads to comparisons with Captain Beefheart and makes them a perfect fit with bands like Modest Mouse and prior tour mates, the Fiery Furnaces. The 2006 release Six Demon Bag (Ace Fu) is a mix of deep thoughts and nonsense that’s somewhat mocking yet sweetly sincere. Ironic or not, these guys seem to be having such a good time, the audience can’t help but have one too. Doors open at the Tralf at 7pm on Sunday (Oct. 7). Showtime at 8pm.
