A brief chat with the Maine

Yellow Scene: I just watched the “English Girls” video and I was wondering what inspired that? As an Englishman, it’s not my experience that English girls just walk up to people and say they like sex…

Kennedy Brock: That was actually very literal for an experience that we had one of the first times we were in the UK. I think we were in Manchester. It was just a fun, wild time the first time we were there. We’re just a bunch of nerds though.

YS: American Candy is the fifth album – how do you think the band has grown?

KB: We’ve been on the road a lot. We love making music together and we’re constantly writing. Everything’s very natural. We like to keep moving forward and pushing ourselves to do different things.

YS: Do you like playing Colorado?

KB: Absolutely. We’ve had good shows at the Summit Music Hall. I really love the area and the shows have always been really good. Denver’s just a beautiful place.

YS: What can we expect from the set?

KB: We’re gonna be playing a bunch of new songs – I think like half the record. Then a good mixture of some older stuff we’ve done and some things we haven’t played in a while. It’s gonna be loud and fun.

YS: When the tour’s over, what’s next?

KB: As much touring as we could possibly do. We have plans to go down to Brazil in a few months, and we have other plans to go to the Philippines soon. We want to go all over the world.
