I have to find another photo of Man Man somewhere
Philadelphia’s Man Man are one of those bands that just doesn’t stop touring, except to do a little recording now and then. Luckily, I’ve managed to get a few minutes to chat with the band’s singer/keyboardist/evil genius mastermind Ryan Kattner (AKA Honus Honus) on a rare, much deserved break.
