Last fall Gossip Wolf fell for indie-rock outfit Man’s Body via their debut EP, Found. This transcontinental band consists of Los Angeles scene vet Greg Franco, also of Rough Church (guitar, vocals), and two Chicagoans, Marco Obaya (guitar, bass) and J. Niimi (guitar, drums)—you may know Niimi from Chicago-Australia pop group Ashtray Boy or his Reader music writing in the 2000s. On Friday, July 13, Man’s Body drop their first full-length, Put Your Family in It, on Franco’s Beautiful Workhorse label, and that night they celebrate with a show at Debonair Social Club. (They play live as a five-piece.) Fans of the Pixies and skinny-tie power pop should dig the band’s easy hooks and melodic guitar clatter—the new video for “Man’s Body Theme” provides a taste.
