Roddy Bottum

The duo of Roddy Bottum (Faith No More, Imperial Teen, CRICKETS) and his partner Joey Halman have announced their first live shows, supporting their self-titled debut album, which came out this year via Polyvinyl.

”While sex apps have nearly obliterated IRL hookups and the pandemic currently forbids human contact, ’1983’ is a heartfelt homage to an era that glorified danger, anonymous encounters and sex positivity,” MAN ON MAN say.

”It’s devaluing when we see Google monopolize on our Pride but do so little to actually enhance and protect the LGBTQIA+ digital experience,” MAN ON MAN write.

”Drilled Two Holes” will be on CRICKETS' debut album, due out this spring.

With only two (and a half, if you count a stage tucked into the rafters) venues and no simultaneous music performances, the weekend’s schedule begets an emphasis on deep and careful listening and invites musicians who aren’t afraid of a bit of intimacy.

Plus: Black Belt Eagle Scout, Frenchkiss anniversary show additions, Curl Up And Die, Brittany Howard, Great Grandpa, and more tour news.

Plus: JD Samson & Roddy Bottum's new band Cricket and more. Basilica Hudson happens September 13-15.
