Jack's Mannequin Records New Video

[Jonathan Lally]

This morning the boys from Jack's Mannequin (http://www.jacksmannequin.com) flew into a secret Los Angeles location to shoot their new music video for the song "Dark Blue." The swinging 50's beach party-esque video has a big crew and an even bigger director behind the piece.

[Paul Tao]

Why am I not in this video? Damn.

[HazeLitRise]

sounds pretty damn sexy

[blimpcityhero11]

As long as they aren't wearing fish tanks on their heads and have performance shots, I'm game.

[waggy]

good song, but bruised would've been a killer single.

[ramstar]

i can't wait!
i would have choosen Miss Delaney though.

I think they tried to pick the catchiest, most radio-friendly single material song.. which they achieved with "Dark Blue."

[blankster07]

Dark Blue is going to BLOW UP!!! ... The Mixtape was a very POOR choice for the first single... in fact ... it's the only song I don't like on Everything In Transit...

[the sob]

where is the source? i spoke to people that tried to go to this video shoot and it was just a bunch of kids standing around but no crew and no JM.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

Sounds cool.

[grace we bestow]

Aw, hopefully it will be like Gidget! I love that movie.

[jfb392]

Favorite song by them.

The source is legit, a close friend of mine connected with the band.

[unwritten]

This should be sweet. :)

[Matt_Dizzle]

yes dark blue fuckin rules man.LOVE this song.

[BehindACamera]

and an even bigger producer behind the piece.

I bet its Jerry Bruckheimer

[Jonathan Lally]

I bet its Jerry Bruckheimer

big name, bad movies.

then this is gonna be a awesome and fun video to watch, fuck california i just wished every sick band decided to shoot there videos in Lavallette NJ so i can be in them.

[PaintTheTarget]

hype williams all the way

[xearlynovemberx]

big name, bad movies.

hint?

[eastcoast-fu]

i don't understand all this love for 'dark blue'. it seems to be most fans' favorite song, and andrew's favorite as well, but it's probably the most skipped jm song on my ipod. bruised or i'm ready or la la lie would make better singles in my opinion.

also 'dark blue' doesn't seem like a beach song to me. i think mfeo and miss delaney have more of a beach vibe.

you cant really say that till you see how the video turns out. When i listen to Lying is the most fun a girl can have.... i dont think of fish bowls on there heads.

[Jonathan Lally]

hint?

No, I was referring to Jerry Bruckheimer..

the music video producer is a very big name with big named bands' videos under his belt.

[konstantine128]

oh god i love dark blue... sounds like a very strange theme for the video tho, doesn't seem to match the song

[PJ1336]

id like to see a JM video directed by marc webb, that guy does great work. but i think it sounds very much like it could be wayne isham , as he's done everyone from metallica to the backstreet boys. who knows.

[GDSP]

I think you mean director. It doesn't really matter that much who's producing it, since the director writes the treatment and comes up with the ideas. Also, I'm guessing that they went with one of those boring "genre" directors like Webb, which means that it'll look really expensive and mostly be like every other alt-rock act out there.

[falloutfan29]

This was my favorite song of 2005 and the highlight of an amazing cd

edited. thanks :) maybe I'm just crazy, but webb's work on the my chem videos was awesome..

[raycer]

Aw, hopefully it will be like Gidget! I love that movie.

there's a gidget movie? i was only aware of the tv show

durr i kept thinking of sally fields when i heard that title, but i totally knew there was a movie

[GDSP]

Yeah, it seems like a lot of people liked those. I'm not saying they were horrible, but I did think they were kinda cheesy and embarrassingly melodramatic.

[BehindACamera]

jerry bruckheimer produces everything

but Marc Webb is an amazing director, all of his videos are insane

[ColourandShape]

Is SoCo done?

[starsinwaves]

As long as they aren't wearing fish tanks on their heads and have performance shots, I'm game.

haha thank you.

[HollywoodAbalze]

dark blue is the only song i like on the album so its good

[McSavah]

Good choice.

[the sob]

off of the jm fan site. Today Andrew flew back to California to prepare for the shooting of the Dark Blue music video, which is taking place TOMORROW. The video is being done by DNA (http://www.dnala.com/main.html) and according to Andrew, it has a James Dean swing dancing vibe, and also possible a dark vibe. According to him a while ago, it would have fake rain, not sure if that's still on but I'm hopeful! It's apparently a very expensive project, since The Mixed Tape videos did really well on FUSE and VH1.

[iihungrieii]

i woudlve chosen i'm ready.. but i guess dark blue is the most radio-friendly

[MCSmate]

awsome. this song is amazing! great choice for the next single

[SoCoRocksMySock]

yeah, dark blue is my least favorite song on the Cd, but what do i know lol

[iheartmariokart]

there's a gidget movie? i was only aware of the tv show

durr i kept thinking of sally fields when i heard that title, but i totally knew there was a movie

of course their are gidget movies! 3! All of them classics i might add :)

I'm happy with this single , i know i've always found it to have one of the catciest choruses on the cd. I think Bruised will be the next single. Didn't he do a poll where people put their favorit jm song or something? I remember it being mix tape, dark blue, bruised then lalalie i think.

[J4xoR]

sweet.

[joeshmoe909]

Great song, cant wait.

[B_0202]

oh, I'm excited for this

[blinkbrighteyes]

i just saw jack's mannequin last night. they put on a great show.

[konstantine94]

andrew told me the video was realllly expensive during a meet and greet.

[Chris Fallon]

They're playing it on the radio up here, and they didn't dod that with "The Mixed Tape," so maybe this will do JM some justice and help them B L O W the eff up!

Because I think everyone should own Everything In Transit. It should be right next to the Bible in every hotel room.

[invincibleXL]

wasn't this a bonus track?

[Ailite]

Can't wait to see this.

[applesandcyanid]

Can't we get some love for "I'm Ready"? That song is the fucking best.

[almandude]

Dark Blue is going to BLOW UP!!! ... The Mixtape was a very POOR choice for the first single... in fact ... it's the only song I don't like on Everything In Transit...

Are you kidding? I really think that it is one of catchiest (and best) songs on that album.

[likethesquid]

Isn't Jack's Mannequin only one guy?

[Shatter_Glass]

JM news is never bad news.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

YES! my favorite song from the cd.
