The highly anticipated video for “Upon Returning” from their new album, CHUCKLES AND MR. SQUEEZY, has premiered on Altpress.com and can be seen here: http://bit.ly/mzPMis.  The clip was shot in San Francisco with Merkley??? at the director’s helm.  "Merkley??? also designed and shot our new press photos,” explains guitarist Mark Engles.  “It was easily the most fun and interesting video we've done to date. Let's just say that now we've all swam in suits and dress shoes, and we have some bruises on our faces.”

Meanwhile, AmazonMP3 is offering “The Thought Of Losing You” as their “Free Single Of The Day,” and CHUCKLES AND MR. SQUEEZY is available for a special low price as part of Amazon's “Daily Deal."  Both offers can be found here:  http://amzn.to/jNEUzI.

Jack's Mannequin Announces Co-Headlining Tour With Guster

Click to enlargeJack's Mannequin has announced a co-headlining summer tour with Guster, which kicks off August 7th in Baltimore and runs through September 4th in Columbus.

 

2011 is shaping up to be a big year for Jack's Mannequin.  Originally formed as a side project while he was the frontman for the band Something Corporate, Andrew McMahon dedicated himself to Jack's Mannequin full time once the band went on hiatus and has released two highly successful albums under the moniker.  Jack's Mannequin is set to release People and Things, the follow up to 2008's acclaimed The Glass Passenger, and will perform at Coachella this year, followed by a headlining tour leading up to the dates with Guster.   "It's going to be a great year, between Coachella, a headlining tour, and going out with Guster. I've loved Guster since picking up their record, Keep It Together, years ago. They've made another amazing album that just came out, and I can't wait to be hearing the tunes side stage," says McMahon.

 

Pre-sale tickets for the tour go on sale today at 10am local time at http://jacksmannequin.tickets.musictoday.com/JacksMannequin/calendar.aspx
