- Mannequin Men, six years before they broke up
Mannequin Men, the scrappy, beer-fueled underdogs of Chicago’s garage-rock scene, have officially decided to call it a day, after 11 years of making jangly, spirited punk rock. The band parts ways on good terms, according to drummer Seth Bohn: “Clean break. No bad blood at all. We just feel that the band has run its course.” Front man Kevin Kujawa says, “We just take it really seriously, and it got to a point where we just didn’t feel like we had a grip on what we wanted to do as much as we used to.” Ethan D’Ercole agreed: “For some of us, the plot was lost.”
