John O’Callaghan: hello from your favorite “mid” band

Pat Kirch and Garrett Nickelsen of The Maine

Recently, I was able to catch up with Pat (drums) and Garrett (bass), of The Maine, before they played a show at The Fillmore Silver Spring. In this interview, I asked the band about their range of emotions with putting together the Sweet 16th Anniversary Tour, how they’d rank their albums in their discography, the status of several key vinyl reissues, and some fun facts about each of the band members. Thank you so much for your time today, fellas. How did the idea come together for the Sweet 16th Anniversary Tour? Pat: Well when we booked the tour, or had the idea of doing a headlining tour, I was trying to think of what to call it. And then I was like, “Oh, we’ve been a band for 16 years!” Congratulations on that achievement as well! Pat: So then we kind of decided, oh, wow, let’s not just do a regular tour, let’s build this whole thing or around it, and kind of tailor the setlist to that. So yeah, it just kind of happened to work out that it was 16 years when we were doing this tour. So what have been some of the highlights for both you Garrett, and you Pat, for the shows thus far? Garrett: I mean, they’ve been crazy! It’s our biggest headlining tour we’ve ever done. So, every show has been pretty wild. I mean, there’s spots that we’ve played a bunch of times that haven’t ever sold out shows or anything. And things are going really well, and we’re also playing a few new songs. Normally, it takes a second for stuff to get like maybe six months or so to get people that are familiar with it, but our new stuff has been going really well. So I think that’s probably the biggest highlight is that it seems like people like the new shit and still like the old stuff, too. And I saw some of the setlists on Setlist.fm and it looks like you guys are playing for about two hours each night, roughly?  Pat: It’s a little more than an hour and a half. Yeah, it’s 26 songs. Plus some fan voting, I think, too? Garrett: Yeah, it switches, and it keeps us on our toes, which is always good. When you’re this far into it, it’s like, you can kind of get into the routine. But to be able to switch it up is always nice. Did you guys have to re-learn any songs in your discography for the set?  Pat: Yeah, tons. I mean, “Saving Grace” was one. And I mean, that one hasn’t been played in a decade. So yeah, we had to kind of re-learn them. But the old stuff kind of comes back fast. The hardest thing is playing the newest album for the first time. Until you’ve done it a couple time… Garrett: if somebody ever had a recording of our first couple times playing the new songs at band practices, they would be like, you’re not allowed to be a band…pretty embarrassing .  Okay, so your band released one of my favorite albums that came out this year. It’s a self-titled effort, which is also your ninth full length studio album, which is a pretty amazing achievement in its own right. What songs from the new record are translating well to the live setting? Pat: Yeah, I mean, I’ll definitely say “blame” is nuts playing. It goes off. And that’s probably because it’s been out the longest, too. Garrett: They all have their moments. “Thoughts I have…” is being played for the first time on this tour. I was like that’s one where it’s gonna take a second . And then, out of the gate, it was just people singing right away. “dose no. 2” is on the record we’re playing and that one’s just really fun. When we first practiced it and first started getting it together. We’re like, I don’t think we can play this song. It’s almost like a “math rock” song…  Yeah, with the tempo changes and you have to be really careful about the intro… Pat: Yeah, like, it went from being like, I don’t know if we can play this too. Now, it’s like my favorite . Yeah, so don’t mess it up tonight! Wishing nothing but the best for you guys, obviously…The Maine have been no stranger to pushing the envelope of the last songs of each record. So, I have to ask, how… https://chorus.fm/features/interviews/pat-kirch-and-garrett-nickelsen-of-the-maine/
