Surprise, Miracle Legion are playing live again.

Way back in 2017 they announced at a show in San Francisco that it would be their last performance. They told a lie. This June they’ll be doing a short east coast tour in support of the re-release of their classic album Surprise Surprise Surprise. The run starts in New Hampshire and ends at Wilco’s Solid Sound Fest at MASS MoCA. The set list will likely lean heavy on the Surprise record which is being re-released on vinyl June 1. The record has been remastered and re-mixed by Paul Kolderie (Radiohead, Pixies, Throwing Muses).

Miracle Legion formed in the the 80’s and became something of a cult hit following acclaim from the likes of NME and Melody Maker and the release of their debut album on Rough Trade Records. They released several albums and toured the US and Europe. They split in the 90’s and did other things.

Singer Mark Mulcahy would go on to form Polaris and make solo records and Scott Boutier and Dave MaCaffrey joined up with Frank Black and became The Catholics.

Tickets for all shows are available at the venues and all the usual ticket services.

Polaris October Dates Cancelled

Hello Wellsvillians. Bad news alert. It is with a heavy heart that are announcing we’re cancelling the upcoming October Polaris shows:

Mercury Lounge, Space Ballroom, Gateway and The Met.

It’s been a difficult decision, but we’re too afraid of us or you getting sick with the Covid #19. Jamming into some packed club just sounds like a bad move right now, so we’re going to stay home and hope things improve so we can play a show that feels safe and good for everybody. I know it’s real disappointing. It’s real disappointing for us too. Some of these show have been cancelled and re-cancelled and if yer just sick of the whole thing that’s fair enough. Very sorry to you. We couldn’t be more depressed. Refunds are available through point of purchase.
