I saw Man Man open for Modest Mouse months ago and it was grand. Man Man put on twice the show that Modest Mouse did (great music, but man Issac Brock is a prick). I would recommend a Man Man show to anyone.

Great.
Another band I want to punch in the face.

Sal,

I’m not familiar with this Hold Steady outfit, but I’m told the singer does a mean version of “Rosalita”.

As far as this “unlistenable noise rock” is concerned, that sounds vaguely interesting. I mean, not to celebrate any genre over another, but Man Man’s slapschtickian Mothers of Uninvention routine was not particularly noisy.

I saw them open for your other favorites (The Hold Steady) in New York City a few years ago. Your description seems pretty apt. Best part of the night; Man Man being heckled with cries of “Go back to Brooklyn!” They are from Philly, of course. Who does reside in Brooklyn, however? That’s right, the headliners that evening. But I guess the heckler was referring to some symbolic Brooklyn that foists unlistenable noise-rock on the unsuspecting public.

There has to be some way of working a “Man Manwich” into this thread, but I’m too tired on a Friday afternoon to be that clever.

Wow, I wish I had seen this comment string sooner. A laff-riot.

I’ll open the book of Manfred Mann to Chapter III, then slam their Man Man-hoods in it!

As opposed to what, Manfred Mann?

I’d like to corner whichever member or supporter of Man Man that’s been tagging their name on houses and buildings all over my neighborhood in Brooklyn. I would Man Manhandle them in the most inhuman-man of ways and prove to them once and for all that Man Man is the Bastard.
