MC50 — the touring band featuring late MC5 member Wayne Kramer alongside members of Soundgarden, Faith No More, Fugazi, and others — have announced a new live album titled 10 More, set for release December 5th.
The recordings were captured during a 2018 tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of the legendary proto-punk band MC5, on which Kramer was joined by Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Brendan Canty (Fugazi), Billy Gould (Faith No More), Matt Cameron (Soundgarden, ex-Pearl Jam), and Marcus Durant (Zen Guerrilla).
The reason the collection is titled 10 More is because an earlier album of different live cuts from the same tour was included as a bonus disc in deluxe editions of the MC5’s 2024 album, Heavy Lifting.

Among the songs on 10 More are “The American Ruse,” “Call Me Animal,” “Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa-Fa-Fa),” “Looking at You,” and “Starship,” as well as a cover of Ray Charles’ “I Believe To My Soul.” The tunes were recorded during shows in Seattle, Cincinnati, and Hamburg, Germany.
Sadly, Kramer died in February 2024, and only a few months later, drummer Dennis Thompson passed away, leaving no surviving members of the classic MC5 lineup.
