The Maine Band • Page 34

Thanks I’m so excited!! It’s going to be an exhausting weekend but I’m pumped. I’ve been lurking twitter to see what’s going on. I’m also in a group chat with almost 90 people going to the fest and it’s crazy. I’ve forgotten how nice/accepting most of their fanbase is.

 

I was going through the replies on Pat's tweet asking who was in AZ already (and like only two out of a solid 74 or something are not going), and It's just amazing to see how many are traveling across the world for it: it just further proves if you treat your fanbase right, you will get that all in return. Definitely a special thing they are continuing! Look forward to your stories when you return!

 

It’s crazy in the Facebook group someone said they’re coming from New Zealand which blows my mind. Hopefully I’ll have some good stories. I’ll be at all 3 events so it should be interesting.

 

Right?! One of the replies I saw, someone was flying a total of 12 hours, and two flights total. I think they are from Argentina! I mean, the band probably never even dreamed anything close to this in 2008.

 

It’s amazing how far people are coming. It’s an invasion of the 8123 family in downtown this weekend.

 

This is amazing.

 

Smart, smart business move there lads

Wouldn’t be surprised if one of them becomes a music business professor in the later days

 

So Criminal isn’t on the setlist tonight. Looks like Vanilla beat it out.

 

Tonight’s setlist for anyone interested.

 

John said they received a cease and desist letter from Coachella over calling the fest Emochella and that’s why that poster they made had to be deleted.

 

FUCK COACHELLA

but anyways numb without you live WAS INSANE

soooo good

 

They’re playing a new song during their Emo Nite set. Audio isn’t the best but I tried to get a bit of it.

 

Sounds very much in the same vein as the first single - very “big” sounding compared to their prior stuff

 

This is everything I’ve wanted from the maine, highlights everyone of their strengths.. strings.. big...

God I can’t wait

 

Sounds massive! Can’t wait for that one.

 

Short b market run with grayscale gets announced tomorrow.

 

Hoping for an LA/ish date since they arent coming here with TBS.

 

If not, they’re doing a tour this summer. This May tour is really short.

 

Damn, I thought he was singing "You are the violins in my veins". Just now I found out it was actually "violence in my veins", haha.

 

Any idea why for this set they went so heavy on Forever Halloween??

 

Not really. There were I think 3 voting sections for FH and the b-sides. It seems to be a fan favorite of people at the fest so maybe that’s why.

 

My friend started a Facebook group for fans of the band if anyone is interested!

Surprised to see they threw in some CSWS before the full show. How Do You Feel about that? And thanks for the new song reveal! PS: Canada Dry, I (Canada) made it to 8123 fest in the end!

 

I took the last few days to listen to each album by this band (besides American Candy which I have loved since it came out). I never gave this band a chance until recently and I am so in love with their 2017 album "Lovely Little Lonely". I cannot wait for a new album! I Need to see this band live just once in my life.

 

I do think it's a little odd they repeated songs other than Numb Without You in both the sets, but I also get it cus I'm sure they figured there's enough people who weren't at both.
