About Playboy Manbaby
Playboy Manbaby is an alternative band from Phoenix AZ, formed in 2011.
Playboy Manbaby formed in Tempe, Arizona, in 2011 and became one of the more visible bands in the Phoenix-area underground. The line-up pairs a standard punk rhythm section with horns, and frontman Robbie Pfeffer delivers lyrics in a strained, hectoring yelp that sits somewhere between stand-up comedy and genuine complaint.
The songs are short, fast and often funny, aiming at consumer culture, local politics and self-regard, and the band has built its reputation largely through relentless regional touring and a reputation for chaotic live shows.
