ONE OF THE MOST AWESOMEST THINGS OUT THERE DUDE
-MAN MAN FAN

We saw Man Man open for Modest Mouse, and they were amazing! Blew Modest Mouse out of the water. The CD didn't disappoint.

Jeffro from San Fransisco (Another review) says it, all these guys are just simply amazing! If you can make a show you must go. I saw them from front row in Des Moines (Val Air Ballroom). At first I had no idea who this band was but the energy and the sound they put off set the crowd alive, I had to find out who they were. I loved them from the first song on.

I adore this CD. I saw them open for Modest Mouse in Philadephia, and was annoyed to sit through two opening acts before the main event. Despite my bad attitude, Man Man immediately won me over with the most energetic performance I'd ever seen. I bought this CD at the show and it's been playing nonstop ever since. They are somewhat reminiscent of the Pogues in that they take a more traditional music (klezmer) and stir up the pot with punk attitude and energy. Check out their YouTube performances for a better sense, or just buy the album!

The album, fantastic. Buy it without hesitation. Get their first album too if you haven't already. This is a truly unique band and if you've just got to experience their manic originality. Every song is a completley new approach.

But far more importantly, NEVER pass up the chance to see these guys play live. It's an experience you won't ever forget. Five guys beating the hell out of a myriad of instruments (some obviously homemade concoctions), leaping around as they switch and trade instruments and all the while keeping absolutely impeccable rhythm and melody. Tight, tight band that's so much fun to watch you feel like you're up on the stage with them. They give it all they've got at every show and they've got a hell of a lot to give. You will be amazed.
