It’s a vinyl-and-download-only release (if you buy the LP you get a download code, of course), and Miles tells me that the album’s in stock (or will be soon) at Laurie’s Planet of Sound, all Reckless locations, and Permanent Records.
The release party is Friday at Metro, with Thomas Function, Davila 666, and the Stranger Waves. The Mannequin Men set will include visuals by friends of the band from Ann Arbor–the folks who run the Bang! dance parties and also directed the band’s first video, for “Massage.” The first 150 people to arrive at the show get a laminate that entitles them to stay after for a party in the balcony with free pizza and beer and DJ sets from members of the band. Then Mannequin Men leave on tour with Davila 666, who are from Puerto Rico; the two groups have a split seven-inch in the works.
