Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Cheryl Waters, host of the Midday Show on KEXP, is "Showgirls" by MAN ON MAN, from the 2023 album Provincetown on Polyvinyl.
“As we lean into what Man on Man is and will be, two things immediately come up. Energy and community. ’Showgirls’ is all that.” — Roddy Bottum, Man on Man
As co-founder Roddy Bottum puts it, today's Song of the Day embodies the fun-loving duo's ethos. The track is a sneak peek at their sophomore LP Provincetown, out June 16th via Polyvinyl Records and named for the town in Massachusetts where Bottum and his partner/bandmate Joey Holman shared their first home.
