Jack's Mannequin is a piano rock band from Los Angeles, California, Originally hailing from Orange County, California. A side project of Andrew McMahon, originally from Something Corporate, the band was formed in 2004 and released their first album in August 2005. In June of that year, McMahon was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but made a full recovery. Both of the band's albums, Everything in Transit and The Glass Passenger, have been received well by both fans and critics alike. They are currently signed to Sire Records. The band's name is a combination of the title of a song Andrew McMahon wrote, "Dear Jack", and a band name he considered, Black Mannequins. When walking in a city he noticed that there were very few black Mannequins and wrote it down as an idea for a band name. When having to decide a name for the band when the recording process took greater shape and the project became more realised, he went back to the name, deciding against Black Mannequins because of any racial issues that may occur. In a radio interview, McMahon said that he combined the idea with a song he had written called "Dear Jack" simply because it rhymed. .
