Man Man Record Record, Tour Tour

A year after releasing its first LP, Philadelphia’s Man Man are set to release a second record and launch an extensive tour in the coming months.

No title has yet been announced for the follow-up to 2006’s wackily raucous Six Demon Bag, but the band has announced that it recently wrapped recording at Shape Shoppe studios in Chicago and will debut a number of new tracks during the two dozen tour stops scheduled for February, March, and April.
