Die Mannequin |
|---|
Die Mannequin is an alternative rock/sleaze rock trio from Toronto, Canada fronted by 21-year-old guitar player and singer Care Failure (born Caroline Kawa). 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 opened for Guns N' Roses on the Canadian dates of their 2006 North American Tour.[2], and supported Sum41 and Finger Eleven on their Canadian "Strength In Numbers" tour in Fall 2007. This tour was cancelled partway through due to Deryck Whibley's back injury and later rescheduled for early 2008. [3]
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.[4]
The E.P. featured four songs and was produced by Keeler and partner Al-P from MSTRKRFT and was mastered by Ryan Mills at Joao Carvalho Mastering. 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. [5] 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]
"Autumn Cannibalist" was the free Single of the Week for the 4th of July week, 2007, on iTunes.
Die Mannequin released a new EP in the fall of 2007 entitled Slaughter Daughter. Two tracks, "Do It Or Die" and "Saved By Strangers", were produced by Ian D'sa of Billy Talent. The other two tracks, "Upside Down Cross" and "Lonely Of A Woman", were produced by Junior Sanchez.[10] There was also a live recording (or bootleg) of "Open Season" included on this EP. The band released a video for the first single, "Do it or Die", which entered rotation Much Music and Much Loud.
Both EPs haven been collected on a single disc entitled Unicorn Steak, which features two unreleased songs: an early demo of "Empty's Promise" and a new song "Hand In Hand".
