Jack’s Mannequin will be touring in support of their album, People and Things, and have just announced 2012 tour dates. As y’all know, the People and Things was released last month, on October 4th, debuting at #1 on Billboard’s Alternative Albums Chart and at #9 on the overall Billboard 200 chart. American Songwriter dubbed the first single- My Racing Thoughts- as “a superb piece of piano rock that rivals some of Elton John’s best ’70s hits.”
As for the tour dates, we’ve got all the info after the jump, along with details on the band’s upcoming appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The band just wrapped up a five week nationwide tour with a pair of hometown shows that included the sold-out annual Dar Jack Foundation Benefit Concert at Los Angeles’ El Rey Theater on Friday. That benefit concert, by the way, raised money for frontman Andrew McMahon’s Dear Jack Foundation- a volunteer-run charitable organization that helps raise awareness and supports charities that help young adult cancer patients.
