Watch Fountains of Wayne Play First Public Concert in 12 Years


The reformed Fountains of Wayne staged their first full concert in 12 years Saturday with an hour-long set in Boca Raton, Florida.

Earlier this year, the surviving members of Fountains of Wayne — singer Chris Collingwood, guitarist Jody Porter, and drummer Brian Young — announced plans to reunite for a gig at Milwaukee’s Summerfest in July. The group, with Eve 6’s Max Collins filling the void left by the death of founding bassist Adam Schlesinger, then added a few more shows, including the gig Saturday at Boca Raton’s Mizner Park Amphitheater. Saturday’s concert featured a 15-song setlist culled entirely from the band’s acclaimed first three albums — 1996’s self-titled LP, 1999’s Utopia Parkway, and 2003’s Welcome Interstate Managers — including the hit “Stacy’s Mom” and classics like “Radiation Vibe,” “Sink to the Bottom,” and “Hackensack.”
