Die Mannequin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Die Mannequin is an Alternative rock / sleaze rock trio from Toronto, Canada fronted by 20 year old guitar player and singer Care Failure. They played the "Next Big Thing" Stage at Edgefest 1 in 2006, have toured across Eastern Canada several times on their own as well as opening for Buckcherry on their Canadian tour.[1] They also got to open for Guns N' Roses on the Canadian dates of their 2006 North American Tour.[2]
Rising from the ashes of Failure's first four-piece band "The Bloody Mannequins", Die Mannequin started in the spring of 2006 when Failure recorded her first EP, How to Kill/Cordless Recordings on which she sang and played bass and guitar because she didn't have a permanent band at that time. Death from Above 1979's Jesse F. Keeler took care of the drum duties as well as production.[3]
The E.P. featured four songs and was produced by Keeler and partner Al-P from MSTRKRFT. Care later hired two of her long time friends, Ethan Deth (of Toronto Band, Kill Cheerleader and Pat M. (A.K.A. Ghostwolf), to play bass and drums. [4] Ethan was quickly replaced by Tony Useless (A.K.A. Sparkles) on bass. Managed by Shull Management, Die Mannequin signed with EMI Publishing in the summer of 2006 [5] [6], and began their own record label, How To Kill Music which is distributed by Warner Music Canada. They were booked as one of the opening bands for Guns N' Roses' eastern leg of their 2006 North-American tour [7] [8] and should release their first full length album on Warner Music Canada in 2007. [9]
Die Mannequin is currently in the demoing stages for their next EP. No song titles have been released as of yet.
