So as I was randomly searching through bins at my local music store today, I came across something that struck a memory. I couldn't quite remember the link, but it came to me. It was this cd. Since my recollection was of the positive sentiment I decided to purchase the virtually unknown disc. I proceeded to get in my car and give it a listen. After hearing the first half of the disc, I couldn't figure out why I remembered this band. The band sounded like a rock'n'roll boy band(no, it wasn't the juliana theory). So I looked in the insert and the back page was a photo of the band. I remembered instantly. The lead singer went to my highschool. Formerly Dave Gimenez, now Dave Elkin. Mind you, my high school was small. By small, I mean that I graduated with 11 other students. 3 of which scored 1600 on their SAT's. I was not one of them. The band is MAE and they just released their second full album a few weeks ago. They're on tooth and nail, and man are they bad. haha.

But maybe I can strike up a conversation with my ole buddy dave and get a demo to Tooth and Nail. haha. I would need Aaron to certainly delete this thread though, so there was no record of my distaste of their music. But, I am not too disappointed I spent money on it because I figure I should support them anyway. He was a cool guy. Probably still is. Who knows.

Mae are non-threatening, emo-ish radio rock. well, their first album at least. i dug a few songs off of it actually.

it's been a year or so since i've even heard them, let alone knew they had a new album out.

Oh yes. I realized also that I have a demo they were selling in Va Beach in Jan. of 2003. Haha. I talked to the dude after the show and he rambled on about some possible record deals with Tooth and Nail. I think I even knew that they had their first album out, but at the time I thought it was like any other time I have spoken with some performers. They always talk about negotiations with record labels and such but it always tends to be bullshit.

i've heard through the grapevine that tooth and nail treats their roster like shit....

This here dude here my cousin what I used to play with. I figured he'd never remember me, but my wife ran into his uncle yesterday who said he'd pass on the hellos to Ellis and see if he want to give a holler back.
