Gutter Growl with Man Man
What this cruddy spring needs is a heavy dose of musical WTFness. I'm talking Man Man, the Philly group that's been hither and thither, spreading word of their particular brand of gleeful chaos. It's a bit swamp boogie, a bit feral blitzkrieg, a bit jazz-swoon saunter, and a ridiculous amount of energy and fun. Their latest CD, Life Fantastic, released earlier this month, and it's surprising fans with how centered and streamlined it is. No worries about Man Man going all "Unplugged" on us -- their live shows continue to be a screaming, feather-coated journey.
Man Man headline at the Metro (3730 N. Clark St.) on Tuesday, May 24. Also lending a heavy growl to the evening is the lasciviously named Shipla Ray and Her Happy Hookers. Doors open at 8 p.m. and the show begins at 9. It's an 18+ show, y'all. Tickets are $16 in advance - buy yours online or at the door.
