On Friday, March 3, 2023, at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, NC, the Maxell 90 returns to perform as the house band for a second round of tributes to R.E.M.’s Chronic Town. If you missed the first show performed at Motorco last December, don’t miss out on this super-fun homage to one of the greatest bands of all time.
Last time, I got to perform a bunch of songs, my favorites of which were “Drive” from Automatic for the People and “Fall on Me” from Lifes Rich Pageant. This time I’ll be performing a number of the same songs plus “Country Feedback” with Ryan Pickett on slide guitar.
Last time, everyone ended up on stage by the end of the show. Pictured left is Chris Holloway, Alex Lawhon, and I performing “Superman.” Since Scott Carle performs drums for the Maxell 90, and all four members of Collapsis may very well be on stage together at some point, we could, in a round-a-bout way, call this a type of Collapsis reunion. We, like everyone else, will be performing R.E.M. songs though.
