06/13/04 - DEAR FRIENDS, UNFORTUNATELY MANNEQUIN HAS DECIDED TO CANCEL ALL OF OUR NORTHERN DATES ON THE TOUR THIS SUMMER WITH SAIL. WE WILL STILL BE DOING ALL OUR SOUTHERN DATES. ALL OF WHICH WILL BEGIN ON JUNE 28TH. WEVE DECIDED TO DO THIS BECAUSE OF OUR LACK OF CONFIDENCE AND COMMUNICATION WITH MOST THE PEOPLE INVOLVED DOING OUR SHOWS UP NORTH. MANY EMAILS HAVE BEEN SENT TO PROMOTERS WHO SAID THEY WERE 100 PERCENT SURE THEY COULD DO THE SHOW, AND HAVE JUST FAILED TO CONTACT ME ABOUT ANYTHING SINCE.. INSTEAD WASTING OUR TIME OR MONEY,WE WILL JUST RESCHEDULE MORE DATES OR ANOTHER TOUR AT ANOTHER TIME.OUR APOLOGIES TO THE FEW WHO HAVE WORKED HARD TO PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER.WE JUST CANT AFFORD TO DO THIS. OUR CD EP ON REPTILIAN RECORDS WILL BE OUT IN TIME FOR OUR SHORT TRIP DOWN SOUTH.OUR GOOD FRIEND JIMMY UP IN NEW YORK WILL BE DOING A 10 INCH VERSION OF OUR EP IN DUE TIME. SAIL WILL STILL BE WITH US FOR ALL OUR SOUTHERN DATES. ANYONE INTERESTED IN BOOKING A NORTH CAROLINA SHOW EITHER ON THE 28TH/29TH OF JUNE. GET IN TOUCH. LOVE MIKE PROPHET AND MANNEQUIN.


04/15/04 - hello friends, mannequin is currently working on new material for our upcoming full length coming out on robotic empire. we are also booking our summer tour. this tour will be a three week tour along the entire east coast. we will have sterling va's sail with us as well. we are still looking for a few dates, so any and all help is much appreciated. 7 inch plans for this upcoming tour have changed slightly. it will be worked out here soon. we hope to have atleast two mannequin 7 inches this summer. in the meantime.. we do have a few shows coming up before tour.


02/09/04 - dear friends, it has most certainly been a long while since this thing was updated. the best excuse i have is that mannequin has not been up to too much until now. we have just recently jammed two shows of which were great and alot of fun. one with new orleans almighty "the faeries" and baltimores noisy "new flesh". the other in DC at a nice cafe with sterlings "sail". thanks for all you freaks who had fun and enjoyed themselves. we are now planning on keeping it loki while writing for our full length on roboticempire. we are stoked as fuck to be writing and jamming again. theres been a slight instrument switch. i now play guitar, while chris plays bass. oh, yeah. that tour was cool. we camped a bunch. we ruled every single night. we are also planning on recording at the end of feb for two splits. one with sterling va's newest noise punk sensation "sail". the other with seattles "akimbo". the sail split will be coming out on my very own record label called "yrscreamingyouth". the akimbo split on comosnaut records out of new york. we are very excited about jamming and recording these new tunes. so please keep checking in as i do believe mannequin is in full swing again. two short two week tours are in the works for the summer. playing with sail, the faeries, pcp roadblock and tons of other actual good bands. for future reference. dont attend a mannequin show unless you are there to lose yr mind and having a fucking good time. ps. BE YOURSELF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
