Fans of For Against and New Brass Guns 1990’s offshoot The Millions (now Millions NE) have some special news to share with us: The popular 1990’s band are performing three special shows this summer in celebration of the second CD release in their “Millions Archive Series”, M is for Millions. The band are playing July 26 at The Waiting Room in Omaha, July 27 at The Bottleneck in Lawrence, and August 17 at The Maha Music Festival in Omaha.
After the Maha Music Festival, however, it is unlikely the band will continue performing together. The Millions sincerely hope fans will make a special effort to attend these concerts.
As their label Randy’s Alternative Music notes, “Last December The Millions rocked The Bourbon Theatre in Lincoln with a memorable and moving reunion concert for more than 500 fans. It was meant to be a one-time event, but the band enjoyed reconnecting with fans—and each other—too much to play just that one show.”
M is for Millions/M is for Millions Sessions will be available for purchase at the shows. It will be a two-CD set. Disc one will be M is for Millions as it was originally released on cassette by the band before they were signed to Smash (minus the songs “No. 6” and “The River”, which are already available on the Poison Fish CD). Disc two is called M is for Millions Sessions and contains 11 previously unreleased tracks.
