After a bit of time away from the local music scene, skuzzy garage-rockers Mannequin Men are releasing new material.

If you haven’t seen Mannequin Men perform live yet, you're missing out on an essential Chicago experience. This quartet has become somewhat of a local staple, spreading their skuzzy punk-infused garage rock since 2003. If you’re a fan of The Replacements or The Black Lips (who they often perform beside), then we recommend you check out Mannequin Men tonight at the Empty Bottle. more ›

We were hoping to bring you the Mannequin Men's wacky fun loving video for "Massage" of the Chicago rockers' latest, Lose Your Illusion Too, but technical difficulties (we assume you'd actually like to hear the song too) prevent us from doing so. As a fall back, please enjoy this other just-released video for "Cream Rises" of the same album. It's not as goofy, but it does feature a bunch of dancing, drinking, and debauchery ... stuff we're looking forward to getting down to as soon as we skip out off the office this afternoon. more ›

Mannequin Men's chaotic record release party at Metro last Friday carried all the trappings of a successful show: stage sing-alongs, furious tunes, much ribaldry, and broken guitars. We had a blast. more ›

Mannequin Men write the soundtrack for a generation of broken teeth. A generation marked by twelve dudes squatting in a house, making bathtubs and closets into bedrooms, sitting on the front stoop sucking on 40s, dying their pets and giving them mohawks, and dancing to reggae and old soul until the sun rises over their breakfast plates at Denny's. more ›

Can't wait for the Mannequin Men's new disc to drop (hopefully in June)? Check out Shrimpss, a quieter electro-Westerberg-ian side project from Kevin Mannequin and friends. more ›
