ACL Battles: CSS vs. Man Man

Round two of our ACL battles pits Brazilian dance/pop band CSS vs. Philly artist Man Man.  This is our earliest battle of the festival weekend with both bands playing at 3:30 on Saturday.  CSS will be gettin’ it down on the AT&T Blue Room stage while Man Man plays on the Dell stage.  So the question is simple: Power pop goodness from the ipod commercial makin’ CSS or get a little more intense with war paint wearin’ Man Man?  Tell us who you’re seeing and why.  Both bands most recent singles are below:

    Since I will be dancing at Hot Chip, I may as well keep up the streak and go head over to CSS; I can also brush up on my Portuguese.

    You should consider doing a match-up between staying at ACL and heading to Mohawk to catch Sunset Rubdown.
