Summer Girlfriends premier Shockwaves video on A.V. Club Chicago
The fine folks over at the A.V. Club Chicago just posted the premier of the video for the title track of the new Summer Girlfriends record. They go on to say that "Summer Girlfriends deliver both the visual and aural equivalent of a sugar rush with no comedown." We couldn't agree more.

JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound on NoDepression.com + NYE
No Depression has been a mainstay in the world of roots music, ranging from alternative to americana. Consistantly on top magazine lists (music and beyond) we can honestly say we're fans.
So of course we couldn't be happier that our very own JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound got a great review this week on their full length "Want More." Amongst many great soul comparisons, Grant Britt goes on to say "calling this music neo- soul is an insult. There nothing neo about it – it's the real thing. Think of it as re- introduction of a classic art form, updated with reverence, love and most importantly, feeling." We couldn't agree more Grant.
Check out the full review on No Depression's website HERE or pick up the Addenda JC Brooks 7" (featuring To Love Someone and their hit, Everything Will Be Fine) HERE.
Also, JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound will be headlining two SOLD OUT New Year's Eve shows at Schubas. If you didn't already get tickets, be bummed out cause it's going to be a hell of a show...
Mannequin Men Record Release Show + Addenda Weekend
The week after Thanksgiving is never pretty for most of us. It means a full week back to work, school, or whatever you happen to do to earn your rent and record buying money (hey, we don't judge.) So, to combat the 'week after the Holiday blues' we have a full weekend lineup of Addenda shows to help you work off that extra plate of Turkey and cheer up!
On FRIDAY December 2nd there are TWO Addenda bands playing. Head over to one show, or try and catch both. Either way you won't regret it.
-our newest addition, Summer Girlfriends, headline at Burlington w/fellow Chicagoans The Day Lewis
-longtime favorites, Hollows, play w/Crystal Stilts at the Empty Bottle
Then on SATURDAY December 3rd we have the long awaited official Mannequin Men Record Release show at The Hideout w/ psych rockers Vee Dee and comedy guest Nicolas Rouley. They'll have the BEER colored vinyl copies of the record for sale so make sure to stop by. And hey, who can resist such a cool poster by Chicago legend Ryan Duggan.
Mannequin Men Get "Nuttin' For Christmas" on AV Club
Who doesn't love the Holiday season? It's that time of year again and along with the cold weather and snow comes presents! Well we've got one for you today. Mannequin Men recently went to the AV Club Chicago studios to perform the 50's classic, "I'm Gettin' Nuttin' for Christmas."
We highly suggest you check it out on the AV Club website and hey, music does make the best gift after all, so pick up a Mannequin Men beer colored record from our store while you still can!
