Another big time Philly band makes their Union Transfer debut tonight as Man Man return with their unpredictable hijinks and chicanery. Better known for their outrageous performances, the band scored their biggest record to date with 2011’s Life Fantastic. Thanks in part to the production of Bright Eyes member and Saddle Creek virtuoso Mike Mogis. They also gained a new touring member when The Extraordinaires’ former bassist and multi-instrumentalist Matt Gibson joined the flock. Both pieces of the puzzle helped to make last year quite a success, and it’s sure to carry into this one as they continue to tour in support of their most recent offering. Add in performances from Deathfix, the latest project from Fugazi’s Brendan Canty, and Lancaster, PA’s NAH, this evening’s sold out show should be a memorable one. Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St., 8pm, SOLD OUT, All Ages – Bill McThrill
