Johnny Marr's son Nile Marr is getting ready to go on another tour in December with his band Man Made. He was playing live as a solo artist for some time before forming the group, which has been gathering a following. Man Made's debut LP is due out next year and they have released a new single called TV Broke My Brain. It turns out he has taken more influence from bands like Modest Mouse, which his dad played with, than Johnny’s legacy with The Smiths. The family lived in Portland Oregon for a bit as well, where Nile soaked up American musical influences and his band has already shared stages with Broken Social Scene and Badly Drawn Boy, and been on the bill at Reading and Leeds and Latitude festivals. Here he tells 6 Music's Georgie Rogers about the band.
