Eric's Indie Concert Review Page

Damn!  Let me say that again….DAMN!  Now, I've listened to MAN MAN'S recordings and didn't think much of them, and have really been putting off seeing their live show…until now!

The band played tightly clustered together, playing as if they were at the Cake Shop rather than the expansive stage of McCarren Park Pool.  Who knew that silly, carnival-y songs that sound like they're sung by a drunken sailor could be so much riot-inducing fun!   On the album Man Man sound deceptively simple, but their live show just shows the depth that the 6 man band plays with!  It seems that each person plays and rotates between 2 or 3 instruments as well, giving many songs a unique sound and feel (although they're all so chock full-o-fun!)   The crowd responded in kind, and threw their energy right back at the band.  





Man Man surely surprised me, and is on the growing list of bands that I should've checked out waaaaaaaaaaaay sooner!


I'll be uploading2 videos from their show as well, so stay tuned!
