[Watch] Mini Mansions - "Monk" x "Girls" Live on Carson Daly

It's been a good few months since we last saw Mini Mansions, last time we saw them it was for their intensley trippy video for track "Kiddie Hypnogogia". They're still going strong however and it's good to have them back as last night dropped by the Carson Daly studio to provide us with some entertainment. They performed a few tracks from their self titled album which is out for you guys to go pick up now! At the top you can watch them perform "Monk" and then after the jump we have the performance of "Girls". Passionate performances form a great band. Hat tip to the never tiring Audio Perv for the videos. Merci.

[Watch] Mini Mansions - "Kiddie Hypnogogia"

After their self titled debut yesterday we have our first visuals from Mini Mansions for track "Kiddie Hypnogogia". The video is weird and wonderful but I kind of expected it to be from these guys for some reason plus the name of the track in itself is kind of trippy. Crazy, psychedelic colours are all over the shop an they've also thrown in some slow motion of the band playing along. It's an entertaining video to watch. Oh... did I mention the half squid/octopus man and the birth of a baby 8 legged creature/orb in a bedroom? No? Best take a look at it for yourself up top. I really like this video and the bands debut is pretty damn good too. Listen to it in full over here.

[Listen] Mini Mansions - 'Mini Mansions' Full Album

Yesterday we gave you a free download from Mini Mansions debut full length self titled album. The track titled "The Room Outside" was everything you'd expect it to be from the boys and now they are letting us preview the entire album in all it's beauty. Check it out below and look out for the album when it's released next week on the 2nd of November. You'll be able to pick it up over here.

[Listen x Download] Mini Mansions - "The Room Outside"

Mini Mansions started back in 2009 on the back of a Queens of the Stone Age break after touring in support of Era Vulgaris and, well, the rest is pretty much history. Zach Dawes, Tyler Parkford and Michael Shuman are about to release their full debut via Ipecac and they are letting you download a track from the upcoming release that's set for the 2nd of November. Check it out below all they ask for is your email and we can all spare that at least once a day! You can pre-order the album over here.

Queens Of The Stone Age to re-release Self Titled Album

Only a month after announcing they were to re-release Rated-R QOTSA have saidthat they are to release their debut self titled album later this year. Josh Homme has teamed up, once again, with his friends at Ipecac Records, Mike Patton and Greg Werckman. In the past Josh has released Desert Sessions via Ipecac and as well as the release of Queens Of The Stone Age this Autumn, the partnership will release Alain Johannes' Spark on October 5th with Mini Mansions Self Titled following on November 2nd. The reason for this appears to be that Rekords Rekords partnership with Dangerbird Records has not hit the ground running. In the press release Werckman says, "Reports on the death of the record label have been greatly exaggerated. Record labels like Rekords Rekords and artists like Joshua Homme continue to wage an assault on mediocrity and complacency in the music industry. We, at Ipecac, are stoked to work side by side with unique talents like Alain, Mini Mansions and el jefe Homme. Keep art in the artists hands." Which seems like a pretty sweet attitude for artists to come into don't you think?

Now to the news in question, Queens' doing another Re-Release. I'm sure you are all as eager as I am to hopefully hear some new QOTSA tracks next year. Until then why don't we welcome with open arms Josh releasing old albums again with bonus tracks and what not! The Self Titled album will come with 3 extra tracks and is available as a 180 gram double-gatefold, colored vinyl release packaged with a CD version available from the 26th of November. The CD release on it's own will be in stores on December 7th. So if I was you I would eagerly wait in anticipation to get your hands on a vinyl you need in your collection. And unless you have a small wedge saved now your best bet at scoring a good deal on the S/T will be to pick it on come December!
