This week's band is Man Man from Philadelphia, PA. I've been listening to them for a while now. Discovered them in '07 when they were touring with Modest Mouse. I honestly can't describe their style but their fans call it "gypsy jazz" which I can sorta understand. If anything I would consider it math rock but it does have some jazz feel to it. It's really close to Modest Mouse but after listening to them I think they're a little bit better, definitely more technical.
They use a wide range of instruments in their songs. Piano is on lead and the others accompany with trumpets, euphonium, sousaphone, xylophone, pots and pans and noisy toys.
