SLIDESHOW & VIDEOS - 10,000 Maniacs Entertain MetroWest Crowd

By Susan Petroni

Alternative rockers 10,000 Maniacs performed a 20-song set at The Verve Friday night.

It was the second show in 13-months for the band at the venue on Route 9 in Natick.

The group, which has been singing and songwriting together for more than three decades, has produced a cross-generational slew of top hits including Trouble Me, These Are Days, and Like the Weather.

Mary Ramsey, who has been the lead singer since 1994, finished the night with a version of the Cure’s Just Like Heaven and the groups Hey Jack Kerouac.

Watch a performance of “Because the Night” from the show here.
