R.E.M COLLAPSE INTO NOW LISTENING PARTY IN ATHENS

On Monday night, March 7th, a special Pre-Release Listening Party for Collapse Into Now will be held at the 40 Watt Club on Washington Street in downtown Athens. The evening will feature a preview of the entire album, both live and silent auctions (as well as a raffle), and a screening of previously unreleased footage filmed in conjunction with the recording of the album. March 7th promises to be a really fun night following in the tradition of all the previous listening parties held in Athens since Automatic For The People.

Tickets are $10 in advance and can be purchased online from Athensmusic.net. Proceeds benefit Community Connection & Family Connection/Communities in Schools/Whatever It Takes. The party starts at 7:00 with doors at 6:30. Visit Athensmusic.net for ticket information and other details. Please note: the band will not be in attendance.
