Mae @ The North Star Bar
I know you guys are sick of hearing Steve and I rave about these guys but they truly are awesome musicians and they put on a great show. I finally had the chance to go see them on a headlining tour.
They played at the North Star Bar in Philadelphia. I had never been to venue. It was very small and I’m amazed that they were even able to fit the whole band on the stage. We opted for front row views from the balcony. The sound wasn’t too good up there (the vocals were hard to hear) but I didn’t have a problem with that.
They played a healthy mix of their new stuff and their old stuff. I was a little disappointed that they didn’t do any of their piano ballads but they made up for it by closing with their hard hitting song “Someone Else’s Arms”. The venue wasn’t set up for a fancy light show but Mae, in their typical fashion, introduced a multimedia aspect to the environment that was a cool touch.
I got some video of two of their songs (Brink of Disaster and Anything) but the audio quality isn’t great. Enjoy! Oh, and pick up their new album Singularity which releases today!!
