            <title>Man Man Announce Headlining Tour with Performances at Rothbury &amp; 80/35 Festival</title>
            <link>http://www.anti.com/news/index/628</link>
            <description>Fresh off of two wildly different but perfectly congruous tours with Cursive and Gogol Bordello – Man Man will be kicking off their very own headlining tour July 3rd at the Rothbury Festival. With stops scheduled at the 80/35 Music Fest and a free performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for Studio -A-Rama’s 28th Anniversary event, the band is taking their brazenly boisterous live shows through the East Coast and Midwest.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The New York Times describes Man Man as a “delirious, scrapheap-eclectic Philadelphia outfit” that is known for a non-stop live set with a revolving door momentum of kaleidoscopic sound . The Aquarian further explains Man Man live as “a vaudevillian clash of sinfully delicate doo wop, virtuosic free jazz, heart-gripping, gut-crunching, intense punk rock energy, free flowing danceable funk, and above all, Eastern European tinged two step polka…love them or hate them, Man Man is a band you have to respect for their live show.” &lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Man Man Announce Tour with Cursive &amp; Dates with Gogol Bordello</title>
            <link>http://www.anti.com/news/index/613</link>
            <description>Philly’s Finest Also on Bill for Second Annual Rothbury Festival&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Man Man are taking to the road with Cursive starting April 24th in Dallas, TX and Gogol Bordello starting May 29th in Kansas City, MO.  The raucous Philadelphia five-piece have been touring the past year in support of their latest Rabbit Habits, called “one of the year’s best rock albums (devoid of any guitar parts mind you)” by Pitchfork.  Filter wrote “the songs are smart, kooky, and even sexy with an inert disregard for commonality - - - and that&apos;s good enough for us to order a glass of whatever they&apos;re having.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Legendary for non-stop live shows that involve swapping most instruments and improving others, Man Man had lately been in songwriting hibernation.  In addition to the Cursive and Gogol Bordello tours, they will also celebrate the 4th of July weekend at the Rothbury festival with the likes of Bob Dylan and the Dead.&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>ANTI- RECORDS LOOKS BACK AT AN OUTSTANDING 2008</title>
            <link>http://www.anti.com/news/index/572</link>
            <description>&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Releases from NICK CAVE &amp; THE BAD SEEDS, JOLIE HOLLAND, MAN MAN Hailed as Career Bests, MAVIS STAPLES Captures a Moment in Time on Live Recording, MICHAEL FRANTI &amp; SPEARHEAD Crack the Top 40 for the First Time&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Billy Bragg &lt;i&gt;Mr Love &amp; Justice&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - in this momentous election year, the man who has dedicated his life and music to political action gave us his most intimate and introspective record yet, without losing the passion that has characterized this beloved firebrand &apos;s career.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;Classic Bragg: frequently fantastic folk-rock that keeps both the faith and your attention.&quot; -Village Voice&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;Rather than being a return to form, it &apos;s a leap forward in maturity, depth and nuance.&quot; -Paste&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Bob Mould &lt;i&gt;District Line&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - It is near impossible to calculate the level of impact or influence that Bob Mould has had on the last two decades of modern rock, from the Pixies to Nirvana, to Green Day to Daft Punk. District Line combines the fire of Mould&apos;s earliest work in Husker Du, the accessibility of his alternative rock, genre-defining trio Sugar, and the introspection found in his solo releases. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;District Line is a ¬focused, gripping zigzag between fury and woe, scorched rock and folk-pop distress, much like the Hüskers&apos; best records--now with a longer view.&quot; -Rolling Stone&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;He&apos;s rarely been more compelling.&quot; -Spin&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;DeVotchKa &lt;i&gt;A Mad and Faithful Telling&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 2008 found the Denver indie band -- who beautifully combines Eastern European bohemia with American prairie rock and south of the border melodies -- coming into their own with sold out tours, festival appearances at Coachella, Lollapalooza and Red Rocks, and a record that charmed everyone from the Eastern bloc (a rare appearance in Moscow) to the online community (the much-discussed use of a DeVotchKa track on the Gears of War trailer)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;Huge indie−rock anthems and lute−driven ballads defined by infallible melodies, heartbreaking arrangements, and dark, funny lyrics.  It leaves you wondering whether to weep or dance.&quot;  -Esquire&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;Cheerful, eclectic lunacy with a heart as big as the world * * * * &quot;  -Spin&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Islands &lt;i&gt;Arm &apos;s Way&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - the 2008 release found the young, critically-acclaimed Montreal sextet heading in a surprising new direction. Their 2006 release, Return to the Sea, was heralded as a stunning work of impulsive outbursts and emotional explorations. Arm&apos;s Way saw the band naturally evolving a more lavish yet centered sound that showcased songwriter Nick Thorburn&apos;s astounding talent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;Freaky, transcendent stuff.&quot;  -Filter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;A rich tapestry of pop from a band that has fully coalesced under his [Nick Thorburn] self-proclaimed benevolent dictatorship.  Their latest Arm &apos;s Way is a sophisticated, majestic and visceral journey into the limelight.&quot;  -Village Voice&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Jolie Holland &lt;i&gt;the Living and the Dead&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - the young songwriter with the incomparable voice adds rock n roll to her impressive resume that already includes folk and country and jazz on her third studio album with help from co-producer M. Ward and guitarist Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello).  The results are hailed as a career best from critics and widely embraced by fans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;Jolie Holland&apos;s voice beguiles like something from an old 78.... she channels the folky, sultry, blues Joni Mitchell trademarked and conjures her own stunning takes on lost lovers and sly approaches.&quot;  -Elle&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;Her fourth - and perhaps best - album foregoes the smoky speakeasy atmosphere of 2006 &apos;s Springtime Can Kill You for a more contemporary roots sound, which provides a more evocative backdrop for her signature vocals.&quot;  -Paste &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Lyrics Born &lt;i&gt;Everywhere At Once&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - not just the title of Lyric Born&apos;s Anti Records debut but a statement about this most industrious multi-tasker&apos;s vida loca. The lyricist, producer, label exec, and non-stop live performer (2008 saw world tours, festival appearances and television gigs) never rests on his laurels and is always changing sh*t up and Everywhere is a perfect example: bored with the drum machine and over licensing rights, LB gathered a crew of top musicians and made a real live record, full of funk and feel, grooves and guts, topped off with Lyrics Born&apos;s unmistakable signature smoothness and loquacious flow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;Near-perfect party record...propelled by sweet soul melodies and rumbling funk grooves reminiscent of the Gap Band and the Ohio Players…crunchy, unstoppable beats that will have you coming back from more.&quot; - Mother Jones&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;On his second solo album, he sounds transformed - festive and celebratory, his smarts undiminished.&quot; -Vibe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Man Man &lt;i&gt;Rabbit Habits&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Part swampy juke joint brawlers, part smooth Philly warehouse doo-wop crooners, with a sprinkling of wild-eyed, demon-haunted art hustler, and a hint of punky kindergarten playroom Pollyannas, Man Man brought their incomparable vision of &quot;pop music&quot; to bear with Rabbit Habits.  2008 saw the roustabouts on tour non-stop with labelmate Tim Fite, indie darlings Yeasayer and at every festival ever conceived (Coachella, Bumbershoot, SD Street Scene, ACL, Voodoo) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;While the band still has its head in the clouds, or beyond, it has made its finest, most listenable album to date.&quot; -Filter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;One of the year&apos;s best rock albums (devoid of nearly any guitar parts, mind you).&quot; -Pitchfork&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Mavis Staples &lt;i&gt;Live: Hope at the Hideout&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Mavis Staples saw her life &apos;s work singing alongside Dr King and marching for civil rights redeemed with the 2008 election results, and suddenly this live record, full of gospel classics and freedom songs, is a testament to the uplifting hope and certainty of success that has marked her 50+ year career.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;Whether fronting the Staples Singers or on her own, Mavis Staples has always fared best in a live environment, where her powerhouse of a voice can take any lyric and transform it into an inspirational anthem…this is Mavis Staples at her fiery best.&quot; -Relix&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;She sat in at lunch counters and marched with King..now Mavis&apos; marvelous new Live: Hope at the Hideout revisits that era with personal recollections and brilliantly evoked songs from (or recast for) the movement... if this concert doesn&apos;t get your heart pumping, check your pulse.&quot; -Philadelphia Daily News&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Michael Franti &amp; Spearhead &lt;i&gt;All Rebel Rockers&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 2008 saw some well-deserved recognition for the indefatigable Micheal Franti and Spearhead.  Their sixth studio album cracked the Billboard Top 40 (debuting at #39) for the first time.  They drew an unprecedented 70,000+ fans and activists to Michael &apos;s Power to the Peaceful festival in San Francisco and closed out the acclaimed KCRW World Music festival at the Hollywood Bowl, keeping the 17,000-strong crowd dancing through the set.  Television appearances, 130 tour dates, film festivals and more kept the hardest working band in rock cheerfully occupied for the year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;An album of shimmying, pop-reggae…it &apos;s a well deserved holiday in the sun.&quot;  -Rock Sound&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;More specific, hopeful, and incendiary than ever....All Rebel Rockers represents his most canny mixture of political topicality and musical accessibility.&quot;  -Utne Reader&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds &lt;i&gt;Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - if there was a single record that came out to universal acclaim this year, Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! is definitely a top contender.  Nick and mates kicked off the year as Plug Impact Award honorees, and high profile nominations from the Q Awards and Mojo and two wins at the Austrailian Age awards (Best Band and Best Album) fueled the international recognition.  The record has already made the &quot;Best Of&quot; lists of Blender, Mojo, The Guardian UK, The Times UK, Uncut and Paste magazines.  Nick Cave &amp; the Bad Seeds have been tapped to curate the inaugural Australian All Tomorrow &apos;s Parties, their Hollywood Bowl performance was one of the shows of the year and Nick talked smack with Terry Gross on NPR &apos;s &quot;Fresh Air.&quot;  It was a very good year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;The album is a triumph from first to last.&quot;  -Observer Music Monthly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;t&apos;s not every goth-punk fiend who can celebrate his fiftieth birthday with an album as loud, filthy and brilliant as Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!&quot;  -Rolling Stone&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;One Day As A Lion &lt;i&gt;One Day As A Lion&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - the reemergence of the year was less about Axl Rose and all about Zack de la Rocha.  His incendiary partnership with Jon Theodore in One Day As A Lion set the music community aflame with some of the most aggressive and original recordings heard all year.  The two are currently at work on their full-length release, coming soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;Wrathful and unyielding, the music pushes Rage&apos;s revolutionary essence further into the faces of listeners, eliminating any chance at misinterpreting these calls to arms as mere boogie-down rock.&quot; - LA Times&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;One Day as a Lion bristles with the street-level vigor that band [RATM] once embodied.&quot; - Time Out New York&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;There isn&apos;t any filler here; it&apos;s all the aural ignition of a gasoline bomb going off in your ears.&quot; -All Music Guide&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Tim Fite &lt;i&gt;Fair Ain &apos;t Fair&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Fair Ain&apos;t Fair is a collection of the most seasoned, reflective and charming work the genre-defying Tim Fite has ever produced.  On it he growls about greed and avarice, topics manifest in last year&apos;s Over The Counter Culture (the acclaimed, free, web-only release which has topped 100,000 downloads this month), but told here with more empathy, more human-ness - perhaps signs of a deeply engaged artist growing up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;His new album confirms that this enigmatic, genre-bending songwriter is one of rock ‘n &apos; roll &apos;s most subversive renaissance men.&quot; - Esquire&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;One of those albums that defies anyone to categorize or ignore it.&quot; - Chicago Tribune&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Xavier Rudd &lt;i&gt;Dark Shades of Blue&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - dusky and cool, the album is more sober than any work Xav has ever done, though it should not be mistaken for temperate. Guitar-driven jams, mixed by Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age), expand on a sound only hinted at on previous releases, and distortion often supplants the pretty jangly guitars heard on earlier work.  Xav spent 2008 touring the world and scoring surf films like Matthew McConaughey &apos;s comedy Surfer, Dude and the documentaries Highwater and Between the Lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &quot;Occasionally I encounter a work that so eloquently describes the human condition that my futile attempts to capture its essence in a review seem almost absurd. This album is one such work.   Xavier Rudd&apos;s Dark Shades of Blue is an absolute tour de force and unequivocally his most powerful work to date.&quot;  -Jambase</description>

            <title>ANTI- Records Looks Back at a Stellar 2008 and Hints at 2009 with Free New Sampler</title>
            <link>http://www.anti.com/news/index/566</link>
            <description>&lt;b&gt;Featuring Brand-New Tracks from N.A.S.A, Ramblin Jack Elliott and William Elliott Whitmore&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ANTI- Records launched its new 08/09 music sampler today on-line via the ANTI- blog and in stores with dozens of participating independent retailers around the country.  In a special promotion running through the holidays, local music retailers will be offering the newest releases from ten of ANTI&apos;s latest and greatest artists for under $10.  With purchase, the buyer will receive a copy of the new ANTI- sampler, or it can be downloaded for free directly from the ANTI- blog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is both a look back at a spectacular 2008, which saw releases from artists such as Nick Cave &amp; the Bad Seeds, Jolie Holland and Michael Franti &amp; Spearhead called &quot;career bests,&quot; and a look into the New Year, including the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &lt;b&gt;&quot;Spacious Thoughts&quot; - N.A.S.A (featuring Tom Waits and Kool Keith)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From masterminds Squeak E Clean (Sam Spiegel) and DJ Zegon (Ze Gonzales) comes the first track from the highly anticipated debut release The Spirit Of Apollo (out Feb 17 2009).  The record - which pairs indie darlings such as Karen O, Santogold, the Cool Kids and M.I.A, with hip hop stars like Kanye West, Chuck D, KRS-One and Ghostface Killah - takes the &quot;less is more&quot; concept and turns it on its head, layering up to four famous voices over vintage Brazilian funk tracks and turntable wizardry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &lt;b&gt;&quot;Old Devils&quot; - William Elliott Whimore&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iowa&apos;s own son of the soil William Elliott Whitmore premieres his first track off his ANTI- debut Animals in the Dark (out Feb 17 2009).  With the old-soul voice of a master country blues balladeer and a devoted following in the punk, folk and indie rock worlds, Will captures the imagination with his raw, populist songs, seemingly untouched by pop culture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• &lt;b&gt;&quot;Soul Of A Man&quot; - Ramblin&apos; Jack Elliott&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He stole James Dean&apos;s girl, listened for two days while Jack Keroac read him On the Road and taught Dylan everything he knew, now Ramblin&apos; Jack Elliott is trying something new:  lending his plaintive drawl to Depression-era blues classics.  Produced by Joe Henry (Elvis Costello, Solomon Burke, Bettye LaVette), the new album also features guest appearances from David Hidalgo (Los Lobos, Tom Waits) and Van Dyke Parks.  Out April 7.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2009 will also see new releases from Neko Case, Bob Mould and the legendary Booker T Jones, of Booker T and the MGs fame.&lt;br /&gt;

Oh, and they captured a mean version of Hurly/Burly.

            <title>Man Man&apos;s &quot;You Are My Manifest Destiny&quot; Tour Commences</title>
            <link>http://www.anti.com/news/index/551</link>
            <description>&lt;b&gt;Man Man&apos;s &quot;You Are My Manifest Destiny&quot; Tour Commences with Dates at San Diego Street Scene and Austin City Limits &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Famed Live Performers Tap Equally Acclaimed Labelmate Tim Fite to Support Select Dates&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a recent show-stopping performance at Seattle&apos;s Bumbershoot music festival, Man Man are set to resume their merry-making in Los Angeles on September 19th.  Non-stop touring in support of their Anti- Records debut Rabbit Habits has seen Man Man crisscrossing the US, sleeping on floors in Europe and winning fans at each show.  The legend of the Man Man live experience - which includes a whirlwind of songs that flow seamlessly from one to the other amidst a jumble of swapped instruments and found objects - grows exponentially as ardent fans, clad, Man Man-style (mustached, real or fake, war painted and in all-white), carry the message out into the world.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- &quot;Everyone writhes, wiggles, and shakes their way through each track, and, needless to say, the end result is always a f**ked up dance party. This band is sheer kinetic energy, and it&apos;s hard not to get caught right up in the middle of it all.&quot; The Portland Mercury&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- &quot;When I personally witnessed the white clad, white-painted members of Man Man pounding their drums and romping around the stage, playing that freaky sideshow music while everyone in the audience rocked out, I had an epiphany. This band really is all that and a bag of chips: you just have to see them in person to know it (mea culpa, mea culpa!).&quot;  Seattle Weekly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- &quot;Man Man seem to take a manic glee in experimentation, in stringing together and piling on sounds, everything from beautifully boozy horns to incoming-fireworks crackles to almost sorta normal angular guitars.&quot; The Oregonian &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In October, Man Man will be joined by musician and labelmate Tim Fite, an equally acclaimed live performer who utilizes a laptop, drawings, handmade boomboxes and his brother, Dr. Leisure, to get his point across on stage.  The Washington Post writes &quot;Fite&apos;s circus-like sound collages yield pleasure as well as surprise,&quot; while Greg Kot at the Chicago Tribune warns &quot;there&apos;s a storm coming, alright, and Fite is sounding the alarm on Fair Ain&apos;t Fair, one of those albums that defies anyone to categorize or ignore it.&quot;  Bookending his run with Man Man, Fite will be playing the Hideout Block Party in Chicago on Sept 21 and the Fun Fun Fun festival in Austin in November.&lt;br /&gt;
