This will be my fifth Man Man show. These guys are ridiculous live and do a great job of interacting with the crowd. Talked to Honus Honus in 2009 and he mentioned they've been trying to get on the lineup for the last three years. Needless to say, they will be psyched to be playing this year.

God I can't wait for this set. I LOVE this band and they never come southward (or I should say, I've never been aware of it).
And that's fantastic news that they've wanted to play Roo for a while. They're gonna want to prove they deserve to be there and we'll be reaping all the benefits.
the only thing i didn't like about seeing them live was the crowd. the movement pattern of the crowd was the weirdest thing i've ever experienced at a concert... and made the whole performance really uncomfortable.

explain?
I'm not sure how. The entire crowd had a weird motion that I couldn't seem to follow and I kept getting my feet stepped on and shit as a result. They were opening for Gogol and when Gogol came on it was completely normal again. Just a weird experience.
Here is the review from their SXSW show. Sounds like it was a blast!

There's something downright unhinged about Man Man's act: Led by hyperactive live wire Honus Honus, the Philadelphia band careens and stomps through songs that conjure the addled celebration of an imaginary Skid Row circus. As such, the group gets compared to the likes of Tom Waits and Frank Zappa, who similarly put a ton of artistry and care into the bizarre, run-down and decadent.
On stage at Auditorium Shores in Austin, Texas during SXSW's fourth day of concerts, Man Man never stayed in one place long: Its set was a dizzying whirlwind of barrelhouse piano, alternately yelped and yowled vocals, and a drummer positioned at the front of the stage, where he belonged. Fans don't often shout for encores from bands playing in the late afternoon on SXSW's outdoor stages, but they can be forgiven their enthusiasm here: When Man Man stopped playing, the silence seemed almost surreal.
Band Personnel: Honus Honus - Vocals, Keyboards; Pow Pow; Critter Crat; Chang Wang (note: Band members trade off instruments that include a clavinet, Moog Little Phatty, sousaphone, saxophone, trumpet, French horn, flute, bass clarinet, drum set, euphonium, Fender Jazz bass, Danelectro baritone guitar, xylophone, marimba and various percussive instruments including pots and pans, toy noise makers, Chinese funeral horns, spoons, smashing plates and fireworks.)
Emoney serves more of a purpose than any of you, especially Nate, whose incessant, garbled ramblings are so mindless and pointless that I get depressed just seeing them.

Idk if anyone watched the show Weeds but for a couple seasons they had different artists playing the intro song "Little Boxes". Man Man did one of them and they were by far the best one. Im kind of hoping they play it live lol
