The Lindsey Buckingham Appreciation Society

Will Perform ‘Tusk’ In Its Entirety

May 15, 16 & 17 in Cambridge, Brooklyn and Philadelphia

Indie rock not-so-supergroup to perform Lindsey Buckingham’s enduring creative statement at three shows in Cambridge, MA, Brooklyn, NY and Philadelphia, PA in mid-May

MARCH 29, 2010: In appreciation and celebration of musician Lindsey Buckingham’s mad genius and one of modern music’s most “punk rock-soft ro ck” albums, Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk, The Lindsey Buckingham Appreciation Society will perform its interpretation of the classic 1979 double album in its entirety during three upcoming shows: Saturday, May 15 at Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, Massachusetts; Sunday, May 16 at Union Hall in Brooklyn, New York; and Monday, May 17 at Johnny Brenda’s in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

After five years of “Yeah, we should really do this… no, seriously!’” e-mails, phone calls, and drinking sessions, fellow Lindsey Buckingham/Fleetwood Mac obsessives Charlie Hall (vocalist and multi-instrumentalist who has played drums with Jens Lekman, The War on Drugs, Windsor for the Derby, Tommy Guerrero and others) and Patrick Berkery (drummer for Danielson, Pernice Brothers, Bigger Lovers, Mazarin and others) finally put their musical pipe dream into action in 2009, and found four kindred music spirits to form The Lindsey Buckingham Appreciation Society.

The six-person collective is based out of several points along the I-95 corridor between New England and Philadelphia, and also includes Tony Goddess (formerly of Papas Fritas, currently with Jenny Dee & The Deelinquents), Birdie Busch (a Philadelphia-based singer and songwriter), Samantha Goddess (a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, also of Jenny Dee & The Deelinquents) and Dave Hartley (bassist and vocalist with The Buried Beds, The War on Drugs and BC Camplight).

The Lindsey Buckingham Appreciation Society is not a tribute act and will not perform in costume. The band features no defined character roles and is more a loving exploration of the album than a verbatim reproduction.
