The Maine |
|---|
The Maine is an Alternative rock band from Tempe, Arizona, USA.
History
The Maine's original lineup was formed in 2007 by drummer Pat Kirch, Ryan Osterman, Alex Ross, bassist Garrett Nickelsen, and singer John O'Callaghan, while most of the band's members were attending Phoenix high schools. O'Callaghan was asked to join the band by Pat's brother Tim Kirch, who also manages the band through his firm 8123 Management.
In spring 2007, they added Kennedy who sang for a band called Last Call For Camden, and with whom The Maine had performed. That same year, Osterman and Ross left the band while Jared Monaco was added.
The Maine got their name from a song called "Cocks of Maine" by Ivory, one of the band's general influences.
