a dozen years to understand how the city fits into the singer-songwriter’s life and career. In 2004, McMahon’s first band, Something Corporate, had decided to take a break after releasing three albums and a pair of EPs (and notching a modest alternative rock hit with the single “If You C Jordan”). At that point, McMahon wanted to explore a more classic pop direction with his songwriting and decided to make a solo album under the band name Jack’s Mannequin. That album, “Everything in Transit,” was ready for release when, in May 2005, McMahon was diagnosed cancer of the white blood sells, or acute lymphoblastic leukemia as it was officially known. On Aug. 23, 2005, the day “Everything in Transit” was released, he received a stem cell transplant from his sister, Katie. McMahon had come to

T he C oast News New York in this period to work on a second Jack’s Mannequin album that would offer an East Coast counterpart in a sense to the very West coast feel he felt “Everything in Transit” possessed. His cancer upended that plan, but a decade later, a cancer-free McMahon decided to return to the scene of his biggest life scare and use the “Zombies on Broadway” project as a way to make good on making the New York City album he intended as the follow up “Everything in Transit.” In making “Zombies on Broadway,” McMahon and his songwriting and producing collaborators (which included such A-listers as Gregg Wattenberg, Jake Sinclair and Tommy English) crafted a sound that leans more toward synthetic sounds than on the “Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness” album. “Don’t Speak For Me (True),” “Brooklyn You’re Killing Me” and “Fire Escape” are among the new songs that use the kind of electronic tones, synthetic beats, big choruses and sing-along vocal parts
that typify today’s top 40 pop. With introspective ballads like “Birthday Song” and “Love and Great Buildings” providing balance, it makes for an enjoyable, radio-ready album that shows more emotional range and depth than much of today’s pop music. McMahon and the other three musicians that make up the touring version of Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness (the band) are now starting what figures to be an extended run of touring to support “Zombies on Broadway,” and McMahon is excited to bring out a show that includes some visual bells and whistles. “Obviously, the tour will be largely dedicated to bringing these new songs to life and have people hear the songs off of ‘Zombies on Broadway,’” McMahon said. In that process, this is really the first time in awhile that I’ve been able to take a full headlining production out, so we’re excited to stretch out and bring out some cool toys that we don’t always get to play with.”

ber, said parents attended with their kids, and residents donated ice cream, pizza and other treats. “The children are the future of our nation, it's so important to have a day to celebrate them,” Munos said. Eastside plans to celebrate April 29. During the event information on healthy lifestyles and community resources will be shared. There will also be food,

music and ballet folklorico performances. Cuellar said the day is about making children “feel special and loved.” “This event targets young children in hopes of empowering our promising future generations,” Cuellar said. The first Eastside celebration was prompted by community concern that alcohol and drug use in city parks was causing problems. Residents also observed park locations being used to recruit children to get involved in
illegal activities. To take back community parks residents held family events. “The event has proven to be a good venue to bring the community residents together in an effort to reduce problems related to alcohol and other drugs in the Eastside neighborhood,” Cuellar said. This year about 500 people are expected to attend the Eastside celebration. Día del Niño takes place April 29, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Joe Balderrama Park, 709 San Diego Street, Oceanside.
