DALTON, Mass. — The Grammy-nominated band Crash Test Dummies will perform live at the Stationery Factory on March 11.
The Canadian rock band was originally scheduled to perform in May 2020 but the show was canceled in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The band rescheduled their Berkshire County stop on the 30th anniversary tour to Friday, March 11.
"We have been so excited with the response to the 25th-anniversary tour that we knew we had to continue the party and celebrate 30 years since we made our first album. We had no idea that fans would be so enthusiastic and we are all a little gob-smacked that we can still play sold-out shows to our fans and, awesomely enough, their kids," said original band member Ellen Reid.
The concert starts at 8 p.m. Click here for more information.
Thirty years ago, the Crash Test Dummies recorded their debut album "The Ghosts That Haunt Me.'' It garnered them their first hit in "Superman's Song," and a Juno Award for Group of the Year. They carried that momentum into their successful and multi-Grammy nominated "God Shuffled His Feet," released in 1993. This album, which went double platinum in the United States, included the popular song "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm."
Setlists will include hits from the band's catalog. Original members Reid, Brad Roberts, Dan Roberts, and Mitch Dorge will be joined onstage by Stuart Cameron and Marc Arnould.
The Stationery Factory houses local businesses and community events. On the main stage, both local talent and national touring acts perform.

Dalton Public Safety Facility Advisory Committee Reviews Sites for New Location
By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass.—The Public Safety Facility Advisory Committee is reviewing potential sites to possibly include in its feasibility study.
Committee members limited the number of properties for the feasibility study review to four but will include a provision in its request for quotes to have a price for evaluating additional properties if that becomes needed.
The committee originally considered six sites: the old Dalton Garage, 197 Main St., 450 West Housatonic St., 11 Cleveland Rd., 134 East Housatonic St., and 339 North Street.
During the committee's meeting last week, it was announced that the old Dalton Garage is no longer an option, the reason was not explained.
However, committee member Dave Martindale presented three additional properties for consideration: the bank lot on South Carson Ave. and some of the First Congregational Church property.
Martindale said he spoke to the owner Greg Schnopp who said he would consider a deal. As a contractor, he can build the place to suit the department but the committee will have to conduct a feasibility study to determine if that site is even close to being large enough.
The Congregational Church has offices in the basement with a walkout and some offices on the second floor on the south end available for rent.
