Holiday contest from DM
Hey mannefans,
The holidays are closing in on us and we want to make sure that you're all in the spirit. That means that it is contest time.
The details: Pick your favorite Die Mannequin song. Pick your favorite holiday song. Take the DM lyrics and sing them to the tune of the holiday song. Or, if you're feeling very adventurous, lay some holiday lyrics over some of Care's guitar shredding. We think that "Do It or Die" and "Jingle Bells" could work out pretty well. Either post a link to the video on DM's Facebook page or tweet the link @diemannequin.
What you get: If you're in Toronto, you will get a pair of tickets to see DM at Sound Academy this Wednesday. You'll also get the band all to yourselves on the VIP balcony at the beginning of the night. If you're not in Toronto, we'll owe you tickets to see DM when they're in your neighborhood (no support or festival appearances, sorry kids).
Deadlines: The deadline for Toronto entries is noontime on Wednesday, December 15th (day of show). The deadline for non-Toronto entries is this Friday, December 17th.

Die Mannequin Singer Starring in 'Hard Core Logo 2'
"I still cannot believe it, being asked to do this. Besides it being a huge honour, it comes with a lot of responsibility and pressure," Failure tells Spinner, just before shooting starts in Saskatchewan. "But I am going to try to have fun with it. It's this new thing I am trying, you know, to make life less miserable...."
Director Bruce McDonald calls the new film a "flipside" to his original, which starred Hugh Dillon (then of Canadian rock outfit the Headstones, now a full-time actor starring in the cop show 'Flashpoint') as singer Joe Dick. It also featured cameos by Joey Ramone and Joey "S---head" Keithley of D.O.A. and a fictional guitarist named Billy Talent. And yes, the band is named after him.
McDonald says he cast Die Mannequin to play themselves in this alternate version of the tale because he wanted to capture a more feminine side of music biz. (He's also trying to get Michael Bublé for a role!) In the film, Die Mannequin is channeling the spirit of Joe Dick to write songs for a new album. In real life, Failure is enjoying writing new material for the movie outside the parameters of Die Mannequin.
"It is the best when there is no suit in your face screaming, 'Write a hit! Hit! Hit!,'" she says. "'Hit' is like the 'n-word' for a songwriter. When you are not focused on that is when you can really let go musically and focus on making a good song. And in the end, those are components that can potentially make a f---ing 'hit.' I feel s---loads of pressure being lifted off of me for some reason when I am writing for soundtrack. It actually feels nice."

Die Mannequin Singer Breaks Foot, Guitarist Gets Punched
Singer/guitarist Care Failure broke her foot during the band's final show opening for Marilyn Manson in Halifax on Friday night.
Failure is used to jumping around on stage, but she rolled her foot in such a way on Friday that she broke two of its bones, according to a MySpace blog post by bassist Anthony "Useless" Bleed.
Bleed said Failure continued playing the song, despite being in pain, and even finished playing the set.
"tune's done, and all she asks is 'wrap it in duct tape and gimme a valium!'" Bleed wrote.
"well she got the tape, and played that show like any other, and yes, including 2 jumps to the floor/crowd! she's no idiot, she's a rock n roll fuckin trooper....
"AFTER the show is when i took her to the hospital and with the help of a dazzer's local cousin/dr steve feelgood, and got her a nice xray and big honkin cast as a souvenier from halifax! "
Failure's injury unfortunately meant the band could not play the last date of the tour in Moncton, N.B.
Failure updated Die Mannequin fans about her condition on Monday.
"i jusT broke my fooT in two differenT Places in The inTro in The firsT sonG," she wrote in a MySpace blog entry.
"Played The wHole sHow wiTH iT broken in Two differenT Places.. HidinG beHind my Guitar bawlinG beTween sonGs.
"now i Have a full on casT for a monTh on my fuckinG leG.
"fuck."
That sucks enough already, but that wasn't the only bad luck to befall Die Mannequin this month.
Touring rhythm guitarist Stacy Stace got his clock cleaned by a "fat fuck redneck" (bassist Anthony "Useless" Bleed's own words) in Calgary following the band's show with Manson on Sept. 10.
According to Bleed's MySpace blog entry, Stace tried to play pool with a man at a bar after the gig, and was repeatedly brushed off before Stace called him a dick. Bleed says the guy then punched "his face into the elephant man! two left hooks, and suddenly we've got the kid from 'mask' in our band! whaaaaa?!?
"awww, welcome to the rough road stace!" Bleed continued. "our fault, we forgot to tell you bout that black cloud that loves to follow us, hahaha.... swelling's gone, and a descent (sic) story for the books.....and a warning to all: don't try to play pool in calgary with fat fuck redneck babies that don't like to share...."
Die Mannequin released their Fino + Bleed debut album on Sept. 1.

'Sleaze rock' group from Toronto is promoting their newest record, Fino + Bleed
Toronto "sleaze rock" band Die Mannequin are making a much anticipated return to the Maritimes next week when the group finds themselves with the opening slot on Marilyn Manson's shows in Moncton and Halifax.
The group is promoting their newest record Fino + Bleed, a record that is being marketed as the group's proper debut album as the band's previously issued Unicorn Steak CD was a compilation of two previously released EP's.
To make their new record, the group decamped to Los Angeles to work with producer Matt Hyde. Hyde has worked with other renowned bands such as Monster Magnet, Slayer and Canada's own Pride Tiger.
Die Mannequin vocalist-guitarist Care Failure said the experience of working with Hyde surpassed her greatest expectations of what the results would end up producing.
"Matt and I really clicked more than I thought we would," she admits from her Toronto home. "He goes above and beyond the call of duty in everything he does. He has a genuine penchant for talent and wants to nurture it as well. In fact, after the album had wrapped up, he called me to see if we could work together again in the future which is amazing. It really was an honour to work with him."
One major change in the Die Mannequin operation leading up to their new record was having Failure try her hand at writing with others, an experience she also speaks highly of.
"I think all record labels like to call up the big guys hoping for to score a hit. I ended up writing with Raine Maida and Chantal Kreviazuk and ended up staying to write with them longer than anyone else I collaborated with on this record. I really like them" they are genuinely cool people.
"Making a record is somewhat of a compromise though. You have balance what you want with what the record company is thinking will help sell your product. There are songs that didn't make the record that I love a lot but I found out that you can learn a lot from other writers. Ultimately though, I learned to trust myself and my instincts."
But while some aspects of their new record might have been smooth, an unexpected road block popped up. Just two weeks prior to entering the studio to make the new record, Failure's laptop computer which contained song ideas for Fino + Bleed was unceremoniously stolen from her.
"The whole thing just ended up being so chaotic," Failure admits. "We had been touring so much that I really hadn't had the time to write the new record. And this record was important to us as well as our label so we really wanted to get things right.
"After my laptop disappeared, I had those two weeks to write the entire record which really helped me learn to refine the song writing craft in a big way."
With shows in Europe on their schedule in the near future, Failure is looking forward to the group's dates with the Antichrist Superstar and specifically returning to Moncton.
"We have always had such great shows in that city. Everybody that comes out to the show has such a great time. We really love Moncton and can't wait to get back."
Catch Die Mannequin on the opening slot on Marilyn Manson's show at the Moncton Coliseum on Saturday September 26. Tickets for the show are available online at tickets.moncton.ca and by phone at (506) 857-4100.

Michaela’s blog..... Coming home after the best month of the year.
Aug 1st
So, we’ve made it back to Toronto. Whimper. Tear.
We got to Toronto early Thursday morning and it was probably the hottest day of the summer too. The band got to rest up a bit and then played Sport Pig on Captain Johns boat. Care wasn’t feeling well but she never showed a sign of feeling like death.
The next day Care, Tony and I went to watch From First To Last play Wakestock. It was also our last day with those guys for who knows how long. That’s the worst part of tour, you make friends fast but then who knows when you’ll see them again. After wakestock we went to the Opera House to see the “secret” Deftones show with attack in black, protest the hero and alexisonfire. The Deftones didn’t play their full set but they did one hell of a job! Afterwards we celebrated Abe’s birthday and our last night to really party with those guys.
On Saturday we were up in the early hours of the morning to make the boat over to wakestock. It was a long, hot day but lots of fun. The band played a great set (as usual). Then they has a twister/spin the bottle/cd giveaway party at the Underground Operations tent. Nobody got naked or made out so it was a bit disappointed but fun none the less. After that the band signed autographs at the merch area and sold lots of cds. Everyone spent the rest of the day relaxing and then watched the Deftones for the last time. (For now).
On our way back to the island we had a miniature tittle wave come over the front of the boat (my side) and it was super fun and a great way to end the weekend. Luckily nothing got damaged but I wish I had a camera to recapture everyone reaction.
Now that the tour is over, I look back and wish I could start it all over again. Thanks to all the bands, crew and fans. Die Mannequin will back VERY soon!

Hello everybody,
Michaela here. I'll be giving you all a good look into the world of Die Mannequin with photos, videos and stories from the road. So you better be paying close attention.
We are currently on the road with Vancouver's Pride Tiger. We absolutely adore those guys and it's awesome to see them play every night.
On the first leg of the tour we visited the towns of Windsor, Guelph, London, Ottawa, St.Catherines and Oshawa. .
We took part in this years NXNE in Toronto where we opened for the always entertaining White Cowbell Oklahoma. It was a great show and lots of old and new faces came out for it. (Theres lots of cool pics up in the pic section)
After the show in Guelph, Care made it to the pre-MMVA party "Rockstar Hotel". The party took over the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto and was filled with lots of free swag, booze and "rockstars".
The following night Care went to the Much Music Video Awards to do her thang. Meanwhile Pat and I were having our own fun with the other rejects at the blink party. I have a good story about a bottle of hypnotiq, security guards and running but I think I'll wait for another time to tell you about that.
After the pre-parties were done we all met up at the after parties. Now, after parties can be really pretentious and boring, not to mention that the woman's washroom reminded me of a scene from a softcore porn movie. However we saw old friends like Magneta Lane and Billy Talent which was cool. We also did a little photo shoot on the red carpet.
Besides all that and seeing the occasional industry schmuck getting groovy on the dance floor that's all I can report from the evening
So, right now we are finishing up the second and last leg of the Pride Tiger tour. We will be in Quebec City, Montreal and Toronto this week. We are also taking part in Woodstock en beauce which will be really cool and messy I'm sure.
Next week we will be leaving for West Coast Canada to do a show in Kelowna, BC and kick off a cross-Canada tour with the Deftones. We are very excited for this next venture and the band has been getting ready with new songs, merch and other surprises.
Till next time,
Michaela

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

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.

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.

DEAR NXNE, WE HAVE YR GUITAR....!!!. **also..****..we're back from texasss, sxsw..............
yes it is true nxne, we are holding yr guitar for ransom.!!!. if you don't get yr shit together and put us at lees next year with (enter big canadian band at the time here......), then you can bet yr pretty little strings that yr precious guitar with (possible sloan authographs or some shit...)... gets it.!!!!..........
(go to our latest picture to see.).
(evil laughter.)....................
die mannequin just got back from texas yesterday-ish. we went to austin for sxsw, nxne's evil, rich and beautiful twin.
unfortunately i had to kill myself four times while in texas for not being allowed in bars for i am under 21. we thought it would be .o.k.. with the passes wristbands, and guitar-in-hand's involved. but it really wasn't. i could barely play my own shows.
the first time i killed myself was when we were driving from the houston airport to austin to check in. i got a call from friends saying that blonde redhead was playing around 4:30 for free. we got there at five and i killed myself.
fast forward a day or two to saturday. we played at the molotav lounge with bands such as the golden dogs, and winter sleep. after we were done i heard word of turbonegro playing a short walk away at emos.
i pulled the trigger again.
i have seen turbonegro before and all, but that was exactly why i was so pissed for missing another one of my ultimately favourite bands. and favourite living bands at that. not even dead yet, .o.d.'d, or still making bad music dead bands.
in my head i live in a post-apocolyptic slightly pornographic teenage wasteland, and turbonegro is my king.
five minutes after the turbonegro castastrophe, like a bad fart creeping out of yr guitar tech's sleepy asshole from the back of the van, i caught wind that the stooges were about to play. and that was the third time i killed myself, and remember the second time that day so far. this one especially hurt since i've been on a stooges kick for sometime now. and this fix cannot be fixed........
the fourth and last time i killed myself was at three in the morning when we were getting ready to catch our flight out of texas. for some reason i decided to be respnsible and check my carry on, when to my surprise i found a huge blunt.
now normally this is a very good thing. especially when yr flying and looking for weed for mr. useless in the states (cops are different here in canada kids.). but it doesn't become as cool when yr about to go through security and customs in america, and yr a dirty rock band of sorts. (hey pretty girl i met in the shitter, next time just tell me.!....)....
i killed myself... after of course.
the good the bad and the smokey.
- care failure.
