Man Man
Philly phenoms Man Man are hitting the studio in March and April to record the follow up to 2008’s criminally overlooked Rabbit Habits. No title of yet for the project, which will be out in early fall on Anti, but there are plenty of new songs planned for the band’s Friday show at the Troc. Here, per our request, Man Man’s main man Honus Honus reveals many of his favorites, so that we might better grasp what fuels his wicked rasp. Favorite song: “Puppet on a String,” Gino Washington.

Like our restaurant scene, Philadelphia’s music community is in the midst of a renaissance. The regeneration was on abundant display during SXSW, where, no matter where you went, a band from Philly was on the tip of someone’s tongue, in front of their eyes or ringing in their ears. Even Bill Murray’s.
