Singer-bassist Max Collins of Eve 6 was arrested for indecent exposure at a hotel in a Pittsburgh suburb on Tuesday morning (5/27).

According to published reports, Collins walked to the hotel's front desk in the nude to ask for shaving cream. Police reportedly were called after guests repeatedly complained of a naked man roaming the halls.

Collins reportedly posted bail and was released from jail on Tuesday.

Plans are moving forward for the inaugural Field Day Festival--featuring Beastie Boys , Radiohead and others--despite the town of Riverhead, N.Y.'s denial earlier this week of a requested mass-gathering permit for the June event.

"Town Supervisor Robert Kozakiewicz, Chief David Hegermiller of the Riverhead Police Department and Executive Producer of Field Day Andrew Dreskin held a press conference [on Wednesday (5/29)] at the festival site, at which time they announced that the planning of the Field Day festival is moving forward and that the denial of a mass gathering permit from Suffolk County was premature," organizers said in a statement posted at the event's website.

"The promoters and town are continuing to explore all options in an effort to stage the Field Day Festival. The town of Riverhead and the Chief of Police have repeatedly signaled their satisfaction with the Field Day communications, safety, security and traffic plans provided that the town of Riverhead can secure additional police from either the county, state or other local authorities. All parties believe there is sufficient time in which to get that done."
