12.04 Man Man @ Mercury Lounge
I first caught Man Man at an Ace Fu records party during CMJ and they were the best band of the night & totally blew me away. Tonight at Mercury they were even better. The blues / cabaret jazz experiments of Beefheart or Waites immediately jump to mind but Man Man weave enough of their own blend of subtle instrumentation & surreal lyricism to avoid sounding derivative. Their CD actually captures the band's intense sound pretty well but they're great performers and are even better live. Definitely worth checking out.
