Andrew McMahon To Release “Jack’s Mannequin: Live From The El Rey Theatre” on June 25

Posted on June 8, 2013 by

Andrew McMahon has announced the release of Jack’s Mannequin’s highly anticipated CD and DVD package “Jack’s Mannequin Live from the El Rey Theatre” set to hit stores June 25th through Be Why and Alternative Distribution Alliance.  Filmed over two nights on November 11th and 12th 2012 at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles at last year’s 3rd annual Dear Jack Foundation Benefit Concert, the two shows mark the final performances from Jack’s Mannequin, wrapping their critically acclaimed 7-year run.  All net profits from the CD and DVD sales will go to the Dear Jack Foundation.  Fans can pre-order the CD and DVD package today starting at 9AM EST at AndrewMcMahon.com.

“With a strong desire to honor the live performances Jack’s had become known for, we set out to capture the last two nights of a partnership that spanned seven years, four continents, three full length albums and hundreds of concerts,” said McMahon of the special two evening event.  “The two November nights that add up to ‘Live from the El Rey Theatre’ are a celebration of the strange history and myriad threads woven together to create what I now carry in my heart as Jack’s Mannequin.”

“The AYA cancer community has largely gone unrecognized over the last 20 years,” stated Dear Jack Foundation Executive Director Steve Smith.  “Andrew’s personal experience and passion drives us on a daily basis to directly impact the lives of young adults and change the statistics.”

The Dear Jack Foundation is a non-profit charity that was founded by McMahon in July of 2006 after his own battle with leukemia.  The organization is dedicated to serving the adolescent and young adult cancer community through collaboration, support, and focused initiatives.

McMahon will embark on a summer trek with O.A.R. for the Summer of Sounds tour in support of his new solo EP, THE POP UNDERGROUND beginning June 20th at the Pageant in St. Louis, MO (full routing below).  McMahon’s new band is comprised of 6 musicians in total, including former band-mates Jay McMillan and Mike Wagner.  Fans can purchase tickets for The Summer of Sounds tour with O.A.R. at Ticketmaster.com.

Yellowcard Announced “Ocean Avenue” 10th Anniversary Tour

Posted on June 8, 2013 by

Hot on the heels with the news that their 2003 breakthrough single “Ocean Avenue” has just been certified platinum (over one million sold), American pop-punk band YELLOWCARD have another reason to celebrate: this year marks the tenth anniversary of that single and its album of the same name. To kick it off, Yellowcard and Hopeless Records are releasing Ocean Avenue Acoustic, a re-imagining of all 13 songs from that album in an acoustic setting.

“On July 22, 2003 our lives were changed forever,” says the band in a joint statement. “We didn’t know what Ocean Avenue would become, but it is a chapter in our story that we will never forget. We knew that for the 10th anniversary of the release we wanted to do something more than just a tour.” Special limited edition pre-order packages of the album including exclusive white vinyl, a one time only pressing 7″, hand written lyric sheets by Ryan Key and more are available now at Moment.Yellowcardrock.com.

Soon after the release of the acoustic album, the band will hit the road throughout the US as part of House of Blues 20th Anniversary Presents, performances at Harley Fest and Riot Fest, and in Europe and Australia. “In the US and Australia, we will be performing the entire [Ocean Avenue] record acoustically from start to finish, and then closing the show with an electric set that covers the other albums,” they explain. “In Europe, we will be playing the Vans Warped Tour, so the headlining shows will just be Ocean Avenue Acoustic.

In celebration of this 10 year milestone, Yellowcard is launching moment.yellowcardrock.com, an interactive space for fans to share their favorite Yellowcard moments, both past and present. Fans can contribute to the site by posting their favorite moments to Instagram or Twitter and using the hashtag #YCMoment. The trailer for the album can be seen here:

.

With over two and a half million albums sold and counting, Yellowcard continue to dominate the music world, garnering fan support and critical acclaim alike. With eight singles that have received significant Top 40 and Alternative radio airplay including the smash “Ocean Avenue”, Yellowcard continued their steady progression with their eighth and latest solo album Southern Airon Hopeless Records last year. Debuting on Billboard’s Top 200 Album Chart at #10, Southern Air is their fifth album to reach the Top 20 (and second in the Top 10).

“It’s going to be a big year for all of us and you together,” they conclude. “Ocean Avenue is a legacy that we are very proud of, so both the album and the tour are things we’ve put a lot of work into. Thanks for your continued love and support, and we will see you this Fall!”
