Jacob Marshall of Mae on Success

(Filed under: Artistry)

"I don't see us equating success with record sales because that has never been the ultimate goal of the band. We have always wanted to make music that de-emphasizes commercialism, but still attracts a diverse audience. So, if our band breaks, it will simply give us the opportunity to develop the live show to the level that we want, so we can connect with people's emotions in increasing measure. And on our new record, we feel that we have captured the true emotion of our live performance in a way that we have never done before."

-Jacob Marshall, drummer for the band Mae. Their debut release, Destination Beautiful sold 60,000 copies and their next release, The Everglow comes out in a few weeks. (Source: Relevant Magazine, March/April 2005)
