view coming back from Governors Island (more by Chris La Putt)

Man Man's last NYC show was free and near water. Man Man's next show will also be near water. They open, along with The Phenomenal Handclap Band, for Brazilian Girls at the Beach on Governors Island on October 2nd. Tickets go on sale Friday at noon.

Erykah Badu and Janelle Monae played Governors Island on August 4th. N.E.R.D and Mos Def also have shows coming up there in the future.

Man Man has no other upcoming shows scheduled at the moment, but the Handclap Band can also be found opening for Friendly Fires at Le Poisson Rouge tonight (August 12th). Friendly Fires also play MHOW in Brooklyn tomorrow (August 13) with the xx. FF played Lollapalooza over the weekend...

"While their set inspired the crowd to dance, the band left behind the electronics and opted for a jazz backing, which included trumpet and sax. It was far from what I expected, but in the best way possible. Vocalist Ed Macfarlane danced until he looked close to passing out. He ran along the fence, ramped up fans, jumped until his legs seemed ready to give out and poured his heart and body into a set that quite honestly, it was entirely too hot to be performing. Friendly Fires were a brilliant start to the closing day of Lolla, and I was eager for the remainder of the afternoon and evening." [Chicagoist]
