Mansions Part Ways With Doghouse
 
Mansions has parted ways with Doghouse Records.

Holly HoX! 08/04/10 09:47 AM

I wonder if he is going to self-release his music now. Doghouse is still my favorite house because of Weatherbox. I wish him the best - Get out to Minneapolis sometime.

Edit: questions answered.

This happened a while ago. Hopefully Nolan takes him on tour with TBS and a solid label signs Chris. His music is just too good.

JordanBuell 08/04/10 10:02 AM

he is so ridiculously talented i hope everything works out for him. i cant wait to hear new material too

Mattylikesfilms 08/04/10 10:04 AM

People need to go buy something from this guy, his music is the most honest thing I have heard in a while and he is an amazing talent thats on the verge of having to stop since hes making about NOTHING money wise. I have bought every album and shirt from him. I hope some users on this site can do the same.

SUPPORT MANSIONS!!!!

WSquarePark 08/04/10 10:10 AM

bummer, this dude is so underrated!!!

Is Mansions in 812 Dirty Squad? At their show in December there was someone wearing " "Mansions" sunglasses. Hmm...

Khouse89 08/04/10 11:14 AM

never heard of him.

SmeezyBeezy 08/04/10 11:27 AM

That's weird that he wanted to leave Doghouse seems like such a good label.

schmohawk 08/04/10 11:35 AM

that sucks. hopefully someone picks him up and helps him release his new stuff

And to think, Chris told you that it was all alright and shit. This makes me sad. He wasn't really lying but didn't want to say it so soon. Hope he gets a new home.

anamericangod 08/04/10 01:47 PM

Dude deserves better things.

pgforperil 08/04/10 01:50 PM

It really seems like doghouse wasn't doing much for Weatherbox or Mansions for the past year or so. Shame since they're the best artists they have.

MJSchmidt 08/04/10 01:51 PM

Does anyone know if Sal is still drumming with Mansions? Whoever said them touring with TBS is right. When John brought them on tour with him it seemed like they genuinely enjoyed touring together. Cannot wait for new stuff! Big fan of Chris' writing style.

broaddplease 08/04/10 02:03 PM

Aw, I love Mansions. shit.

He wasn't really lying when he talked to me cause he never denied the news about getting dropped when I talked to him and he did say he plans to release the new album one way or another. Im just worried that he wont find a home and he will end up doing what Lydia did.. release an album and maybe do a small farewell tour.

Both bands have not made much money for Doghouse and It is true that they are both amazingly stellar artists but Doghouse is still a business. Its a sad day when millions of people still buy good charlotte and american idol crap but not great bands like Weatherbox or Mansions.

Very much so. I am tempted to start a petition to have Nolan bring Mansions on a huge TBS tour... I just wonder if many would sign it haha.


oh and how I would send the petition to Nolan to read?

Chris always released demos and such, I am sure we would just have to search for it online a little while after the new record comes out. I would be stoked if he did a best of the bee sides part two with all the tunes or demos for the new stuff. I just hope the man releases the album soon with a sweet pre order deal!! Ill buy that shit ASAP.

MJSchmidt 08/04/10 02:40 PM

I would sign a petition for them to tour with TBS. I think would could get a surprising amount of people to sign it.

I might get poppin' on that soon then.

InaGreendase 08/04/10 05:03 PM

Refreshing honesty. Good to hear something's going on at least. When I Sleep still fucking crushes me.

I had no idea about those tour dates but NY's coinciding with Native/Former Thieves/Slingshot...egh.

ansonyuhas 08/04/10 05:20 PM

this guys stuff is awesome. So honest and real. And he lives in Louisville , most of the time. My hometown.

sjb2k1 08/04/10 07:41 PM

i happened to see Mansions live on the Copeland farewell tour...shit was awesome.

just bought a shirt from the merch store, much love to this band

jaredrockstar 08/06/10 12:10 AM

One of the worst bands that I've heard in a while.
