When Chris Mars (former drummer from The Replacements) released his third solo album, Tenterhooks, he didn't want to tour. His label, Bar/None sent another band, The Wallmen on tour to promote it with a cardboard cutout of Mars on stage during the shows.
"You And Your Sister" is actually a Chris Bell song. Alex Chilton sings alongside Chris Bell on that song.
