They are called Men Without Pants and comprise Russell Simins (The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion) and Dan Nakamura (Gorillaz). Simins, drummer and co-founder of The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion has played with top-notch artists like Tom Waits, Elliot Smith, Beck and Yoko Ono. Not bad, huh? Meanwhile, Dan ‘The Automator’ Nakamura has worked with Daryl Palumba (Head Automatica), Eels, Mike Patton (Faith No More) and Primal Scream.
Interested? Ok. Their debut album Naturally lands April 25 and will feature lots of remarkable collaborators including Sean Lennon, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Pierces, Blonde Redhead and The Mooney Suzuki. The sound is rhythmic, dirty and crazy, like a powerful guitar based Gorillaz going straight to the club. Without pants, of course.
