Jack’s Mannequin will be gracing the stage at the Murat Egyptian Room in Indianapolis on 2/24/10. The last time Jack’s Mannequin was in Indianapolis was over the summer when they performed with the Fray at The Lawn, it was a good show if I do recall. Anyway, the concert starts at 7:00pm and tickets range from $19-$22, click below to get your tickets now.

Jack’s Mannequin began as a side project of Something Corporate, frontman Andrew McMahon, and comprises guitarist Bobby Anderson, bassist Jonathan Sullivan and drummer Jay McMillan. In June 2005, McMahon was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), just months before the release of Jack’s Mannequin’s debut studio album. They released the album, Everything in Transit, in August 2005. The album peaked at number 37 on the Billboard 200. McMahon made a full recovery and the band returned to touring. They released The Glass Passenger after a series of delays in 2009. It sold 49,000 copies in its first week and peaked at number 8 on the Billboard 200. ”The Resolution” was released as the first single and charted at number 27 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart.

On October 4, 2009, McMahon began a solo tour across the country to raise awareness of leukemia and to support the release of the Dear Jack documentary due out on November 3, 2009. On November 3, 2009, the EP associated with the Dear Jack documentary, also of the same name, was released, including the songs “Dear Jack,” “Diane, the Skyscraper,” “There, There Katie,” and “Swim (Music Box)” I have not had a chance to see the documentary, if you’ve seen it leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of it.
