Mannequin Pussy “Clue Juice” Vid / Show 2/15 @ Ill Spot

Mannequin Pussy, “Clue Juice” from Impose on Vimeo.

Brooklyn’s Mannequin Pussy put out a well fueled rock ‘n roll long play in 2013 called Gypsy Pervert; “Clue Juice” from that album got a video premiere at Impose a little while ago. It features some neat live footage.

For a similar scene, head over to Ill Spot here in BOSTON on Saturday, February 15, where MP will be playing! This 2nd Chance Valentine Show is sure to in the words of Ben Katzman ROK

I only caught a mere few minutes of Mannequin Pussy when they came around town with Lust-Cats of the Gutters in October so this time I KNOW to make proper arrangements to catch it ALL.
