History
Man Man released their debut, The Man in a Blue Turban with a Face, in October 2004 on Ace Fu Records, but did not begin to tour extensively until the 2006 release of their second album, Six Demon Bag. In 2007, the band opened for Modest Mouse on several U.S. tours, gaining them further public attention. Not long afterward, Nike aired a series of commercials starring Rainn Wilson with Man Man's "10 lb Mustache" as the background music. "10 lb Mustache", "Feathers", and "Engrish Bwudd" were featured in season 3, episode 8 of the TV show Weeds written by Rolin Jones. The band also recorded a cover of "Little Boxes" for the title sequence of that episode.
American experimental rock band formed in 2003 in Philadelphia, PA and now based in Los Angeles, CA. Honus Honus (Ryan Kattner) is the only constant member and its primary songwriter.
