Concerto de Mae!!

Thought I would write about the Mae concert last night at Sonoma State. My opinion of them has just sky-rocketed. I have always been a fan, that's why I went to the concert. But they fricken rocked!! Everything was tight, they got the crowd involved, they were energetic, even the lead singer was awesome, which I felt was their "weakest link" as a band. Vedera was the opening band and they did pretty good. The only negatives I could see was a small room that was packed with people. The show was sold out. The guy in front of me was acting like a goofy jack-ass trying to impress some high school girls. And the New Amsterdams had a rough night. Mathew had the hiccups for the first couple songs and their other guitarist wasn't there for whatever reason. Unfortunately, he adds alot to their music, so it was definitely lacking. Plus, I didn't like their set list. But everyone who has ever been in a band knows that everyone has nights like that. Mae absolutely stole the show. They tore the roof off the place, no joke. And the best part was, it was only 5 bucks. John Knight had a friend who goes to Sonoma State who got the tickets for us at a discount price. Sweet deal! Anyway, got me pumped to do some more shows. Hopefully we can get that rolling soon. Later.

I'm glad you enjoyed the show. It can be a lot of fun to hear live music... I hope sonoma state fixes the roof Mae tore off, that can't be cheap.

Haha, yea well, honestly, I felt wierd not going to a tooth & nail show, especially one so local. But Carrow's also blew the roof off... itself. The Santa Barbarian did not displease.

Haven't heard of a roof being blown off since 1981 when a tornado took the roof off a house on Markwest springs road...

Having just heard the new recordings, I must say that I am jealous of your lead singing abilities. Please teach me how to be awesome. No, it really does sound good. I'm looking forward to hearing Jesse's mix.

By the way, sometimes you can get an album title by taking a phrase from your lyrics. We kind of did that for Shadows except that's just one word. I was reading your (Jordan's) lyrics, and though nothing stood out as an album title, you might find something. Anyway, I think it's a good idea.
