On Friday Jack’s Mannequin came to Stepan Center, and between screaming “I love you!” and fanning myself (don’t you wish I was kidding?) I managed to snap a few pictures, which I will get up as soon as possible.
Andrew played hits from Everything In Transit, and a few songs from his up-coming album, which was originally due this spring but has been postponed until the summer.
For an encore, fans were treated to Something Corporate’s “Me and the Moon” and Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker’s “American Girl.” During both, a few visiting high-schoolers and ND students looked slightly puzzled.
Andrew McMahon has been performing with Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin for about a decade , and he never fails to provide an incredible concert. His energy, piano skills, and voice never fail, and all Jack’s Mannequin fans left satisfied, though few tag-alongs were converted.
Saturday, Chicagoland’s Lucky Boys Confusion brought punk/reggae to Legends, resulting in the closest thing the club has seen to a mosh pit since Flogging Molly last year. They were preceded by a band who’s name and music I don’t remember, with an f-you attitude that the students returned.
LBC provided a great concert, earning new fans by the end of the hour.
