From the sequined gowns that look ripped from a 70-year-old socialite to the white shorts he's worn at every performance since 2006, Honus Honus does not take himself too seriously.

Urban Nomad sits down with the frontman of Man Man, a Viking-vaudeville, maniac Gypsy Jazz indie rock band. After their Nike ad debut and a song feature on TV series Weeds, the rising band has traveled from SXSW to CMJ, bringing the most eclectic and exuberant live performance you may see this year. Honus talks about his ever-present white shorts, the inspiration behind his haircut, and Michael Cera answering a Craigslist "Casual Encounters" ad:

Honus Honus is a legend but notoriously hard to interview. Good job in getting him to actually answer some straight questions. Did u ask him about weather there is going to be another Mr. Heavenly album next year as rumored?

Yes he was really hard to interview, and the worst part is when we would shut the camera off he was very straight and we had great conversations. Either way he is def a legend, glad he gave us the time. We shared a shot of Jameson after we were done and @ManMan went on to crush it @Elrey
