The Maine Sells Hella Records, Has the Best Tour Manager Ever
Published on July 21, 2008 by Daniel Taylor · 2 CommentsThough The Maine‘s is definitely cornier than both sides of Interstate 80 through Iowa, the band is basically blowing the fuck up: currently on tour with Boys Like Girls and Good Charlotte, the band’s debut full length, Can’t Stop Won’t Stop scanned over 12,000 records in its first week to land the band a spot in the top 40 on the Billboard charts and thats just the start: its a proven fact that once Video Matt interviews a band their weekly scans increase by 2349%, so expect next week’s numbers to be on Diamond status. Add to that, the fact that the band is now employing the Cadillac of Minivans of Tour Managers, Peter Digby Sellers, shit is coming together like fucking Voltron for these AZ kids. Check out the interview above then put your stunna shades on and get hyphy only without the whole hip-hop part.

i dont understand. there is good music in arizona and it is NOT the maine. There is music here with depth and ingenuity. The Maine is lacking in both areas. Captain Squeegee, Kool Shades, and Yukon Ho are all good az bands that are built from musicianship and well orchestrated writing styles.
You get +100 internet points for the Captain Squeegee reference. Remember though, depth and integrity aren’t qualities the general population wants in music.
Peter Sellers, however, is a bitchin guy so I can’t complain too much.
