Before Mae actually got on stage, three new bands played, I was pleasantly surprised by Terrible Things they were really good. They had such enthusiasm for what they sang. As if they were telling a personal story. I highly recommend checking them out. Now for the other two bands I felt like they were not as good. I almost wanted to leave, but did not only because I came to see MAE, now MAE has been around for eight years, the indie rock band released Everglow in 2005 when I discovered them at the Troubador, Ever since then, I have fell head over heels with the music they create. When I first saw them, they had such a small following... Tonight at the El Rey Theater in Holly wood it is time to say good bye, the band is breaking up. I have been to many of there concerts, well every time they come to Los Angeles that is. The following they have has just grown, over time and what a dedicated fan base, most concerts I go to, the fans don't know all the lyrics they sort of know every other word and fubble along as the band rocks out. Mae had the whole audience singing along to every one of their songs,! It was beautiful. Towards the end you could see on the band members faces they were sad they did not want to leave stage and we did not want them to, Dave Elkins( vocals, and guitar) sang with such passion, your heart could feel the love he has for Mae music. They are a beautiful band with amazing talent and I am sorry to say god bye.
Good Bye MAE
