Michael Cera is known as an alternative actor who also plays music in random fringe buzzbands that no1 cares abt, except for the fact that Michael Cera is in them, so they'll go to Michael Cera concerts to 'watch a famous person' do his thing, but they have no opinion the actual music. He is also in overglorified, yet cancelled TV series or something, and had limited success as the third actor in a few moderately successful films (By indie standards). In terms of alt, he truly has it all. [...]
Toronto - I will openly admit that the last time I saw Mister Heavenly , I went largely because I was curious to see Michael Cera (their bassist at the time)performing with them. Not the only reason, mind you - I like Islands and Modest Mouse and I've at least heard of Man Man (hey, there's a lot of bands out there, I can't be expected to listen to everything ...) so I knew the band had a pretty decent pedigree. But for me and a large part of the crowd [...]

Photos by G. From left to right: Portia De Rossi, David Cross, Michael Cera, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett The hottest ticket in town on October 2, 2011 was the cast reunion of the TV show "Arrested Development" as part of the New Yorker Festival. Before I get into what the program for this afternoon was all about - here's the information you are all dying to know: Writer/Creator Mitchell Hurwitz confirmed that an "Arrested Development" movie is happening. The script is half way finished [...]
Arrested Development Photo : Art Streiber/FOX This was just about the best news I got all day.

Mister Heavenly did a session with Daytrotter earlier this year and it was finally released a couple of weeks ago…while my power was out. I have been an unabashed lover of the Heavenly trio, so I thought I'd throw "Your Girl" from the Daytrotter session out here for your consumption. The dudes apparently performed this session with Cera and a lack of sleep, plus Honus Honus' vocals being a bit shakey. Check it out below or download the whole set via Daytrotter . Mister Heavenly - Your Girl Bonus [...]
OK, I can take your criticism if you're going to tell me that we JUST shared 50's style music when Mookie told you about the Buddy Holly Rave On compilation album. I can take it, because I am really digging this album by the band Mister Heavenly, which also relies heavily on a 50's doo-wop sound. Or rather, make that doom-wop. There are drums involved, after all. Click to Enjoy Mister Heavenly - Doom Wop [...]
Years ago (and we're talking like four-five years ago), Man Man frontman Honus Honus expressed that he would one day like to work with The Unicorns/Islands mastermind Nick Thorburn . In the months and years that followed, they collaborated here and there and revealed that what they were cooking up was to be called "Doom-Wop." And with the addition of the percussive expertise of Joe Plummer (The Shins, Modest Mouse), they had themselves a band. Beginning a supergroup side project is one thing. But creating a completely new genre? Lofty, to say the least, and [...]
Filed under: Exclusive , New Music , New Releases Jacqueline Di Milia Since word got out that Mister Heavenly , a band comprised of Man Man 's Honus Honus , Islands ' Nick Thorburn and Modest Mouse 's Joe Plummer, would be heading into the studio to put their stomping rock to wax, music fans have been on tender hooks. (Film fans, however, can unhook themselves since sometime-member [...]
Mister Heavenly's quirky chops blow your top with modern indie doo wop.
With a cast that includes Man Man's Honus Honus, the Islands' Nick Thorburn, Modest Mouse's Joe Plummer, and—as a touring member—actor Michael Cera, Mister Heavenly is easily one of the more bizarre supergroups in pop music's history. Honus and Thorburn are the two larger-than-life musical personalities that dominate this outfit, instantly flying their respective freak flags and taking over songs like "Pineapple Girl" with ferocious hooks and eccentric lyricism. The two are an irresistibly odd pairing. Take the gravely Honus Honus-sung verse in "Pineapple Girl" that begins, "I don't desire to be a clueless creature / Just waltzing [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Releases Courtesy of Man Man Man Man do not do anything the easy way. When Spinner spoke with moustachioed singer and keyboardist Honus Honus the day before their new record, 'Life Fantastic,' drops, the Philadelphia spaz-rock-wizard-clan were somewhere in Albuquerque, N.M., transferring gear from their just-broken-down van into a U-Haul. "People are gonna be like, 'Man Man's ballin'!'" says Honus, with characteristic black [...]
