Mannequin City is an outlet for frustrations. Societal issues such as consumeristic greed play a key thematic role in the bulk of Mannequin City’s output. Founded in late 2008 by frontman/guitarist Matt Roberge, the band has consisted mostly of moving parts. Mannequin City is wholly considered to be a “studio” band, with no future plans to tour or play shows. A key factor in the band’s musical direction has been their vast and varying influences, ranging from classic rock such as The Beatles and The Who, to progressive rock ala King Crimson and Yes, 80’s new wave and heavy metal, 90’s alternative and indie rock, and modern artists like Joanna Newsom and Sufjan Stevens. Matt Roberge calls upon these influences heavily, yet manages to morph and shape them into something new that is decidedly Mannequin City.

Mannequin City’s first release was a poorly recorded (and written) 4-track EP, “The Setbacks EP”, which was released on February 23rd, 2009. It was a rushed recording, created solely for the purpose of filling the void left by the breakup of Roberge’s previous band, Omega Weapon. The EP was followed quickly by the demo/single “Words in a Eulogy” in March 2009, which was the result of an improvisation session.
