Man Man opening for Modest Mouse in Rochester NY. Got to watch the soundcheck and had spots on the rail. Man Man just had another energy I haven't really seen matched by anyone.

Sigur Ros at Bonnaroo in 2008. Was a few hour gaps between shows at the stage and hung out for a few hours with people to get a good spot. Left that show to find Kanye (who was supposed to start at the same time), still hadn't taken stage. Fell asleep waiting for him, gave up around 4AM and walked back to my tent. Think he went on around 430AM

Viagra Boys in 2022. Fun show, good crowd energy.

Arcade Fire/LCD Soundsystem/Blonde Redhead/ Les Savy Fav on Randall's Island in 2007. Front row of 20,000+ people (that I ran to secure for our group) Met Will Butler. Was LCD Soundsystem's last stop on the tour. Special special show.

Oh, Girl Talk at RIT sometime around 2007 or so. I've seen Girl Talk I think three times, but crowd energy was nuts for this one. Crowdsurfed even.

    Man Man

    There's a band you never hear about. Six Demon Bag is a wild ride, amazing album. What a unique sound.

    Also, great Linux command.

    I have never heard of them, but Six Demon Bag is a reference to Big Trouble in Little China aka the best movie ever made. So I can only conclude that they are cool as hell.

    It's an absolutely great album. Zero duds on it. The Man in a Blue Turban with Face is also great. And if those tickle you the right way I'd check out the bands Need New Body and Icy Demons which had some members of the original Man Man lineup.

    Pow Pow, their drummer, is an incredible talent.
