90s super-group Mad Season is prepping a box set including live and unreleased material. Read More for more details.
Mad Season was a grunge supergroup featuring Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees and the late Layne Staley of Alice in Chains. Antiquiet reports that Martin recently announced that there will be a Mad Season box set set to be released next May. In an interview with The Sun Break he said:
“To honor our departed brothers, Mike and I oversaw a Mad Season box set, which comes out March 12th, 2013. It contains the re-mastered Above album, the Moore concert on DVD with surround sound and a bunch of live recordings that were never released. The most exciting stuff: three songs that Mark Lanegan wrote lyrics and sang on, songs that we started to record for the second album but never finished because of Baker’s and Layne’s deaths. One of the songs Peter Buck wrote with us, and the other two are from me and Mike. They are three of the heaviest and most beautiful songs Mad Season did, and I know Layne and Baker will love them.”
Fans can now be excited about the remastered Above album, live footage and new unreleased material.
