mae
Jammin Java
mae is a band I actually like quite a lot, although I've only seen them once before (ATL 2004). It was truly serendipitous that I found out about this show - I happened to look up their myspace page because I was wondering what they'd been up to since The Everglow and saw that they were coming to Jammin Java. I was also interested in seeing them because what they're doing this year (2009) is releasing one song per month for purchase via download and donating the profits to charity. So I went to their live show to give them some money. There was a pretty wide range of fans there - from teenagers to folks my age and they played both old favorites and new songs. I'm not sure which of these guys are left from the band I saw in 2004, but they claimed they couldn't play too many encore songs since the bass player was new. They did play two encore songs as a two-piece which was really cool. I heard my couple favorites, so despite the jackass frat brothers standing near me, I was pretty happy.
They're going on tour with Barcelona this spring, but unfortunately not coming anywhere near DC again for a while.
