The Verve Pipe w/AJ of Northern Room and Lauren Lee

The Verve Pipe is coming to The Back Room @ Colectivo for an exclusive acoustic performance of their multi-platinum album ‘Villains’.  See every song, in sequence – reimagined and performed like you’ve never experienced before.  

The Verve Pipe were one of dozens of alternative bands gobbled up by major labels in the wake of Nirvana’s success, and they made the most of their opportunity, releasing their grungy major-label debut Villains in 1996. It included their first hit, “Photograph,” and their signature song, “The Freshmen,” a melodramatic tale of a high schooler’s suicide. The band has released albums sporadically since, but were never able to recreate that record’s success, so it makes sense that they’d return to that well for this show, where they’ll perform Villains in its entirety, with new acoustic arrangements.
