SUNDAY, AUGUST 10
TRIPLE ROCK SOCIAL CLUB
Man Man w/ Landlady
The band’s name also seems to be the reaction from people who have seen them live, “…man, man!”
Man Man, the alt-experimentalists from Philadelphia are back on the road after a stint with Gogol Bordello, in support of their latest, last year’s
On Oni Pond (ANTI- Records).
The phrase “e
xpect the unexpected” is probably never more true, with leader Honus Honus, percussionist Pow Pow, and band serving up something memorable.
Arrive early, as NYC art rock band
Landlady with Adam Schatz who plays in Man Man, opens the show promoting
Upright Behavior (Hometapes 070).

Manchester pop is alive and well again, in the form of UK Pop/R&B foursome,
