roadrunnertwiceJake got on the guest list for the Man Man concert tonight and brought me with him as his +1, because he rules.
Man Man was pretty awesome, though that might not be the word I'm looking for. Try "explosive." I hadn't heard their music before, and figured that their name must be ironic? NO. They really are all about the testosterone. And there were two to four very large men off to our right who clearly could have listened to them all night.
Man Man weren't the real surprise of the night, though. That honor goes to the Fort Wilson Riot. Hot damn, have you heard these guys? First time in a good long while that an opening act just got up there and blew my ass away. They were just so... musically engaging. Every song just kept twisting around and doing startling and awesome things. Think Fiery Furnaces meets Neutral Milk Hotel meets Jethro Tull. Except, you know, not.
If you get a chance, go see them. And if you're in the Cities, you have a chance to see them tomorrow night (Sunday) when they play with The Mathematicians and Screamin' Cyn Cyn + the Pons at the Triple Rock (21+, $6, 9pm).
