Michaela's Chopped Chicken Liver Recipies and road report

July 15th

Hey everyone,

We made it across the country! It was a long long drive but not as horrible as we expected. We saw lots of animals (pics to come!). And I gotta say that Canada is so beautiful it was hard to complain about anything.

Immediately after the show in Vancouver on Thursday the band jumped a flight to Toronto to play the big Billy Talent/Alexisonfire show at the ampatheatre. They were in the city for less then 24 hours but pulled off a great set and made it to Edmonton in one piece.

Im now sitting at the Univisity Of Calgary venue listening to the Deftones in the backround.. Weve done about 5 shows with the Deftones and From First To last and everything is going great. From First To Last Dudes are fun guys who weve gotten to know well. We went to see Transformers the other night and it was a real bonding experience. I cant say too much about the movie though.

The Deftones band and crew have treated us extremely well and from day 1 they have been watching from the side of the stage and giving the band the up most respect. If the band could continue on this tour for the next 2 years they definitely would.

This being the first time the band has toured out west we weren't sure what to expect. But the reception has been awesome and we will be making our way out west very very soon again.

We have the day off tomorrow and then off to Saskatoon! Lots of pictures of videos to come.

Peace out
Michaela

July 4th, 2007

Hey kids,

Today we are leaving for the west coast of Canadaland to play our last show with Pride Tiger in Kelowna, BC and then kick off the cross Canada tour with Deftones and From First To Last. I'm STOCKED as well is everyone in the Die Mannequin family.

A quick re-cap of what went down last week.

We made our way to Quebec City where we were greeted with a glorious storm, nasty security guards and HUGE hills that leave your gas tank empty. But I gotta say for every bitchy security guard there are 3 extremely awesome people to make up for it. Such as the folks who let us crash at their place on their last night before moving out. And for every steep hill there is a beautiful view when you get to the top. Quebec City is a truly beautiful city.

The next day we made our way to Woodstock en Beaue. It was a really great show and a cool scene to see. Tons of people rocking out, drinking beer, camping and having fun. Some of us wanted to stay all day but we had to get back to Montreal.

We got to spend a good amount of time in Montreal and it was probably one of the busiest days we've had on tour so far. We started off Friday morning getting new gear for the band. It was really exciting for them and watching their reactions as they saw their new stuff was sweet to see.( If you thought they sounded good before wait until you hear them with the new stuff.) We then went to CKLO to do a short studio session for the Concordia radio station. The show was at foufs which is a venue for music, dancing and drinking. Always a good time at foufs!

The show in Toronto was amazing. Tony, Care and Pat were so on that night that it brought tears to some of our eyes. It was so cool to see the band play Lees Palace and get such a great reaction.

We then got a few days off to rest and charge our batteries for the upcoming tour. Check out the tour dates and we hope to see you on the road. Don't forget we got new merch so come visit me at the merch area and check it out.

tata,
-Michaela

hot crimes.

slow saturday morning fuck to you.!!...........



since we got back from the states, we have been in the studio all last week working on the first two songs for our new ep.. these two songs were being recorded and produced by ian d'sa (guitarist, billy talent.). perhaps we will do more with him, as well as some other "top secret extra special very private producer" that will remain nameless for the time being........

we leave in a couple days for the states again to play in buffalo and maryland the 3rd and 4th with the all american rejects.. when we come back we'll probably hit the studio immediately to finish the two songs already started, and to start the rest of the songs for the record.. what does this all mean.??... new songs, a new ep in june/july.

and just in time to tour it accross canada. it's funny how that magically works out, isn't it.??.......... die mannequin will rear it's ugly revolting rock head to a city near the pretties in june with attack in black and pride tiger. and don't be surprised if you see us again in july with another top secret very private group... all these secrets to dissiappoint........!!.........

after that, we will go to europe in august now instead of leaving in september. i've never been accross the ocean so i can't wait to start the slaughter internationally. mannequin massacre commence..

also in june, our next toronto show.

the line up:

billy talent., alexisonfire, the cancer bats, attack in black, and die mannequin.
at: the molson ampitheatre, june, '07..



a couple things made me upset last week, besides the usualy things, like that rapping, french candian chick dancing around like a fucking idiot. (you know who i'm talking about...)..... you have the freedom girl, and the control. fuck 'em up. don't be such a friggin' marrionnette. anyways,

dear dude that sits on my porch and throws me gifts through my window,

and leather jackets don't fit, andthat dub cd you threw in doesn't play. stop waking me up at 6:45am on hangover saturday.!!!!!!!!!!!!. the fucking collections agencey has become my alarm clock at eight thirty in the morning now anyways, so i really don't need yr ass waking me up anymore.

also, in sad- dder news, our dog mylo is getting a little older, and he was chilling outside dm's apartment last week when we were in the studio.. he wandered a bit. he was lost for three days. i was going mad, it's a horrible experience losing yr big hairy smelly child. but he is back now, and just in time for my barfday.

i have been trying to ignore it, but it is becoming futile. i love everyone elses's barfday, i believe they are the only "holidays" worth celebrating.. but not when it is mine. how depressing. i am an old cranky crusty-ass woman come april thirtieth.............

hot crimes everyone.

heavey breathing right back at you..!!!!!!!!!!!!!...............

How To Get die mannequin To Play In Yr City, Or Backyard..

the rumours are true, if you demand it, we will come.

here's how.. just ask us. if there are enough requests, we will come to yr city my pretty, and play for yr asses for pennies.

besides clicking on the link to process yr need to see die mannequin live, there are other things you could do to speed up the process of getting the band to you.

when fans ask me when we're coming to their town, or how they could get us to come and play in they're city, there are some ideas that can always help solidify a show. if you know a good venue, ( it could be a club, or a house party... whatever the fuck......) or if you know a good band or local band that draws, that helps too. and it is always good to have enough pennies for gas to get us to yr city, and pennies to pay whatever sound or techs we have on the road with us.... if you have some of these ideas and options, you can always e-mail me at anytime. howtokill@hotmail.com .

but now all you have to do is follow the link for die mannequin to make noise and destroy in a city near you.

back for the slaughtering in nyc – tonight (Monday 4/2).

we made noise last Thursday at piano’s in nyc, and I guess it didn’t suck that badly since there was a great turnout and excitement from fans for more of the slaughter.
So the band will begin the massacre one more time tonight.!……… so back to turn enemies to friends and friends to enemies once more again tonight at pianos, die mannequin will hit the stage around 11. and if you already did see them and want to re-live the experience, this is yr chance punk rock boys and fuck rock girls.

watch to see what yr lazy ass is missing.
