Weekend Recall: The Maine
by Clayton Webster
Our Monday morning Reminiscence of the Weekend Past
Since their beginnings in Tempe in 2007, The Maine has delivered album after album of inventive and dynamic alternative rock – never retracing their steps but always pushing their sound forward. This innovation doesn't stop in the studio, either. For their most recent release, Lovely Little Lonely, they decided to forego the standard record release process and instead empowered their fans to help spread the message, even offering commission for those who sold copies, and distributing copies themselves at pop-up record stores in L.A. and San Francisco. We caught up with the band as they toured California and had them show us through a weekend in their world:
friday
San Francisco album release show at Great American Music Hall!
Hanging out with old friends backstage in SF.
SATURDAY
We had a bunch of friends and family come out to the San Diego show!
View from the balcony in San Diego.
SUNDay (and beyond)
First show for us at the new House Of Blues in Anaheim was epic!
Make America Emo Again after party!
Closing out the weekend with a pop up shop in downtown L.A.
