Faith No More's Roddy Bottum tells us why he formed a new band MAN ON MAN with his real-life partner. Watch the video for their first song 'Daddy'
According to Bottum, they’ve already recorded an “album worth of material” and will self-release more singles and videos before a full record is released this summer.We were in Brooklyn at the onset of the virus and like we say in the song, ‘We took a truck to CAL-I-FOR-NI-A…’ to a sleepy beach town called Oxnard, an hour north of Los Angeles. The drive across the country was intense.It was apparent that we as artists were on the brink of a new now; a place we’d never been.
We started brainstorming our project on the drive west. It felt not only important to document the time of the pandemic but to document the way we were feeling about each other and the intensity of our togetherness in isolation. We’d written a little together before but never to this extent. We hadn’t thought a lot about releasing a record and not at all about making a video. The collection of songs kind of warranted that and we just took that leap of faith.
You aren’t shy about mixing something poppy and sexy with a darker side. Is that what you’re going for with “Daddy”? It’s a real dark time, there’s no denying that, but the vibe between us in the face of this virus is one of positivity, productivity and optimism. The sound of the song and tone of the video came 100% from that place.
I’m not familiar with the alt-Christian band Cool Hand Luke that you used to play in, Joey. What was that like?: Playing in Cool Hand Luke was an experience that was full of fun and learning, but ultimately I was hiding a very important part of who I was, and that was painful. We had a healthy dose of playing in bars and clubs, but the other half was playing in churches and at Christian music festivals.
