Sorry, I’ve basically abandoned the blog. I work full time, and I just don’t have the time or interest for it anymore. I’m planning to keep the old posts up so people can still look through them, but I don’t have plans to update anymore
yes it is!
Kennedy and Pat will be video chatting with Joel and Sean of This Century and all of you this coming Thursday August 30th at 6PM BST/ 10AM PST over at www.stickam.com/themaine
The guys will be talking about the upcoming European/UK tour that kicks off in a week and a half! Make sure to check out all the dates at www.wearethemaine.net/tour
I think for us doing a documentary at this time is really
important because so many things happened leading up to the release of
this album that we have not been able to talk about in full. The
process of recording/releasing “Pioneer” had so many ups and downs and
we want everyone to hear the story directly from us. Garrett had been
following us around with his camera the entire time and we ended up
with so much footage we figured why not put it all together so we have
something to look back on when we are old.——————————————-
I think looking back at all the footage and remembering how much
of a struggle everything was has been a positive thing for us. We are
proud that we stood our ground and did what we felt was the right
thing to do regardless of what anyone else had to say about it. That
is the biggest pice of the story for me, it is not that a record label
did not agree with our songs it is that we believed in something so
much that we did not stop at any cost.—————————————————————
The other main feature on the DVD will be our live concert from
Sao Paulo, Brazil on the Pioneer World Tour. We are very excited for
everyone to finally be able to have a live concert to watch whenever
they want. I am also excited about people having good quality versions
of some reworked/unreleased material.———————————-
I have learned a lot about myself individually and us as a group
during this process. I think we are stronger and have a better gage on
where we see ourselves going in the future. I have never felt more
proud than when the album was finally available for our fans to hear,
and I hope they feel as proud as I do because we owe it all to them.
