It's not everyday that you get the chance to photograph one of your favourite bands while being able to see them two days in a row, which is what happened this past week! The Maine has been one of my favourite bands since around 2011, and has consistently been in my recently listened to music library since then.
The band had an extremely intimate show with iHeartRadio/STAR 101.9 the day before the show, where in order to get tickets you just needed to enter their contest on their website (These small shows usually happen with most alternative bands that come down to Hawaii, so keep your eyes peeled in the future for nice, personal acoustic shows!).
Here's a couple of shots I got from the radio show:
Here's a quick snippet of the song English Girls from their acoustic set:
I went to soundcheck for a bit to get a quick shot of the band a couple of minutes afterwards. (Shakas because they're in Hawaiʻi, duh)
The show wasn't completely crowded since it was on a Wednesday night and lots of people had work in the morning, but the concert was still super high energy and probably one of the best performances I've ever seen. Here's a short clip of one of the songs from the night (Raining In Paris) and some of my favourite shots of the gig!
Please, please, PLEASE go and see this band if they ever come to your town. Even if you have work the next day. I promise, it will be worth the lack of sleep.
