MANNEQUIN MEN TOUR NORTH AMERICA IN SUPPORT OF UPCOMING ALBUM LOSE YOUR ILLUSION, TOO

Chicago’s Mannequin Men are trekking through the East Coast, Midwest, and a few cities in Canada on a headlining tour!

Chicago quartet Mannequin Men are hitting the road, this time in support of their latest, Lose Your Illusion, Too (Flameshovel, 7/7). The band has been steadily earning a reputation as a fun, smart, killer live band, and this trip should nail the point home for the uninitiated. They’ve shared stages with everyone from The Circle Jerks to No Age, played as members of James Chance’s (of seminal No-Wave act The Contortions) backing band, and they’ve recently received strong praise nationally. All this hard work has culminated in the release of this, their latest (and greatest!) LP and subsequently this headlining tour, kicking off with their hometown record release show at Chicago’s legendary Metro on 7/10. Mannequin Men are ready to take it to the streets and pose the question they’ve been asking sweaty and enthusiastic crowds throughout the Midwest….are you ready to lose your illusion, too?

Press on Lose Your Illusion, Too
