Max Collins (musician)
James Maxwell Stuart "Max" Collins III (born August 28, 1978) is an American musician, best known as the bassist and lead vocalist of Eve 6. He authored most of the band's songs and has also launched a solo career in 2013.
Career
He met guitarist Jon Siebels in high school, and the two formed a band. In May 2003, Collins was arrested for indecent exposure around the time the band was prepping for its third album, It's All in Your Head. Subsequent to poor sales of Its All in Your Head (192,000 Units Moved), Eve 6 was released from their recording contract and disbanded.
From mid-2004 until May 2005, Collins performed in a band under the name Brotherhood of Lost Dogs with the drummer from Fountains of Wayne, Brian Young, and bassist Joe "Bass" Howard formerly of The Posies. They played live shows in the Los Angeles area and never released any recorded material. In June 2005, Collins began a new project, The Sugi Tap, with former band member in Eve 6, Tony Fagenson. In October 2007 The Sugi Tap was put on hold "indefinitely". The band had released an EP, formerly available at The Sugi Tap's website, but now only the album art of the EP and a link to Eve 6's Myspace page is available.
