Name: Jack’s Mannequin
Genre: Rock
Day: Saturday

Wikipedia sez: “Jack’s Mannequin is a rock band from Orange County, California. A solo project of Andrew McMahon that started in 2004, the band’s debut album was released in August 2005. In June of that year, McMahon was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. After he made a full recovery, his album, Everything in Transit, was received with positive response by fans and critics. They are currently signed to Maverick Records.”

Jack’s Mannequin are like a modern Ben Folds Five meets Angels & Airwaves. Certain tracks are as ready for mainstream rock radio as possible (The Mixed Tape, Dark Blue) while their piano based tracks sound much better (Kill The Messenger, La La Lie). Nothing is wrong with their music, it’s just nothing exciting or spectacular by any means, with most songs related to girl troubles (then again, you could say that about a whole heap of mainstream rock artists).

Likelyhood of Seeing at Coachella: It’s not for me.
