MAN FOREVER
Man Forever is the compositional vehicle for John Colpitts, aka Kid Millions, the drummer for highly influential rock band Oneida. He has a released his newest album “Pansophical Cataract” in May 2012 on Thrill Jockey which you can stream here http://
While it’s tempting to only consider Millions in terms of his collaborators in Man Forever — Brian Chase (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), James McNew (Yo La Tengo), Richard Hoffman (Sightings), Shahin (Ex-Models/Oneida) — this is in fact Man Forever’s third LP.

Kid Millions will be joined by about five local musicians on the night, to give you the full and very unique MAN FOREVER Experience!!
NOT TO BE MISSED….
