Man Man back from Europe and touring U.S.

After months touring Europe, Man Man, the band the New York Times called a “delirious, scrapheap-eclectic Philadelphia outfit,” are back in the states and set to take their famously infamous show on the road here. A number of headlining shows are interspersed between festival appearances at the Download festival in New Jersey, Bumbershoot in Seattle, the Street Scene in San Diego and the Austin City Limits festival in Texas, among others.

Non-stop touring in support of their Anti- Records debut Rabbit Habits has seen Man Man crisscrossing the US, sleeping on floors across Europe and winning fans at each show. The legend of the Man Man live experience – which includes a whirlwind of songs that flow one into the other amidst a jumble of swapped instruments and found objects – grows exponentially as reports of ardent fans in all-white, wearing war paint and fake mustaches, increase.
