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.

          

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.

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.

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.

Mannequin Men want you to take off all your clothes ... for their next album cover.

The F Yeah tour hits The Mansion (2408 N Kedzie) tomorrow night with Matt & Kim, Monotonix, Team Robespierre, Mannequin Men, and Crystal Antlers. (Yes, Matt & Kim are also playing Hideout earlier in the evening, and this set was supposed to be a secret, but their label let the cat out of the bag, so there you go.)
