The Lindsey Buckingham Appreciation Society performs MIRAGE ... and more
Nearly two years after they performed Lindsey Buckingham's enduring creative statement, the 1979 Fleetwood Mac double-album TUSK, at shows in Boston,Brooklyn, and Philadelphia - joyous gigs that pleased both the old heads infaded Buckingham-Nicks bootleg tees and young'uns probably conceived while RUMOURS spun in the background - indie rock not-so-supergroup THE LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM APPRECIATION SOCIETY returns to perform Fleetwood Mac's 1982 album MIRAGE in its entirety, along with select Mac and solo Buckingham gems at two shows: Friday, February 17 at Johnny Brenda's in Philadelphia, and Saturday,February 18 at Littlefield in Brooklyn.
For these performances, the six-person Philadelphia-based collective will feature returning members Charlie Hall (vocalist and multi-instrumentalist who has played with Jens Lekman, The War on Drugs, Windsor for the Derby, Tommy Guerrero and others), Patrick Berkery (drummer for Danielson, Pernice Brothers,Bigger Lovers, Photon Band, I Was a King, Mazarin and others), and singer-songwriter Birdie Busch. They will be joined by new members/fellow Lindsey-Mac obsessives Eliza Hardy Jones (vocalist/keyboardist for Buried Beds), Brandon Beaver (guitarist/vocalist for Buried Beds), and Dave Wayne Daniels (bassist/vocalist for The Capitol Years).
As for why the group is tackling MIRAGE, an album known for its dawn-of-MTV staples"Gypsy" and "Hold Me," but generally overlooked in evaluations of the Lindsey-Stevie era canon, Hall says: "MIRAGE is a trove of wonders - some of the strongest Mac songs in the canon as well as some total head scratchers and ones that I never realized how great they are. It's neither the ”Rumours II" as some claimed nor was it a repository for discarded solo songs as others claimed. There's sheen for sure and there's mystery and beauty through and through. It's got everything. This isa gorgeous record that is deserving of more attention and appreciation."
The Lindsey Buckingham Appreciation Society is not a tribute act and does not perform in costume. The band features no defined character roles and is more a loving exploration of Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac's music than a verbatim reproduction.
