Fountains of Wayne’s First Live Shows in 12 Years Have Blessing of the Late Adam Schlesinger’s Family
Fountains of Wayne will reunite this year for live festival performances, with the family of late co-founder Adam Schlesinger giving its blessing.
This lineup of Fountains of Wayne finds Collingwood joined by two mainstays of the group, lead guitarist Jody Porter and drummer Brian Young, plus their touring keyboardist Steven M. Gold and a new conscript, bassist Max Collins (of Eve 6). Fountains of Wayne released five original studio albums during the band’s lifetime, beginning with 1996’s eponymous debut and ending with 2011’s “Sky Full of Holes.” Collingwood and Schlesinger wrote their songs almost entirely separately from the start of the group’s career, though they were co-credited on all of the material, a la Lennon and McCartney. Some of the more popular tunes penned by Collingwood for the band, meanwhile, include “Valley Winter Song,” “Radiation Vibe,” “Leave the Biker,” “Please Don’t Rock Me Tonight,” “Survival Car,” “Red Dragon Tattoo” and “A Fine Day for a Parade.”
