Rocky Votolato began his career in power-pop band Waxwing—an outfit that featured his sibling and current Blood Brothers member Cody—but these days he favors mostly quiet singer-songwriter fare built around his voice and acoustic guitar. Votolato’s latest, The Brag & Cuss, is a small departure from his critically acclaimed 2006 effort Makers, opting for full-on alt-country instrumentation rather than the previous work’s stripped-down starkness. It’s a good record, though generic in its weaker moments, with Votolato occasionally sounding like a lesser Ryan Adams. Hopefully Votolato will bring a bit more heart-on-his-sleeve passion to the stage. Opening: Portugal The Man, The Great Depression.

There are plenty of reasons to love Man Man, but the most compelling is its utter absurdity. Honus Honus (a.k.a. Ryan Kattner), the gravel-voiced frontman and the band’s only original member, sports an admirable moustache/half-dyed pseudo-mullet combo and does an old-fashioned boot beat-stomp while clad all in white during the band’s excellent live show. During “Push the Eagle’s Stomach,” from the Philadelphia hobo-junk-blues collective’s sophomore album, Six Demon Bag, someone (a high-pitched demon, perhaps?) screeches what sounds like “my brown eye’s blacker than yours,” simultaneously invoking scatological humor and playing off Kelis’s hit of yestersummer. Yes, Man Man thrives on the bizarre and has an almost circus-like originality. And therein lies much of the band’s charm.-Prefix Mag
