Playboy Manbaby

Playboy Manbaby is a delightfully chaotic Phoenix-based punk-ska-surf collective known for their frenetic energy and satirical bite. Formed in 2011, the band blends horn-driven ska, surf-rock twang, and punk absurdity into a sweaty party soundtrack that critiques modern society while making you dance. Fronted by wildcard vocalist/trumpeter Robbie Pfeffer, their lineup includes a rotating crew of musicians delivering sax, keys, and rhythm section chaos. Tracks like "Toxic Positivity" and "You Can Be A Fascist Too" showcase their knack for tackling social issues with dark humor and circus-punk hooks. They’ve built a cult following through relentless touring, DIY releases like their 2019 album *Don’t Let It Be*, and live shows that feel like a caffeine-fueled carnival crashing into a political protest.
