Bands

Maine's hottest venue continues to attract national acts.

If you've never done the old port festival, your last chance will be this June

If you could see any band perform in Maine, who would it be?

One of my biggest pet peeves about bands is when they continue to limp along after major players have left. Except in the case of a band member dying, it looks sad in many cases to see a group or band rolling through town with only a couple of their original members.

What do you think of bands who continue on without an original?  I have issues with groups rolling through town after for example a lead singer breaks away. The only exception in my opinion may be Van Halen. They have seemed to evade becoming watered down. I do have to say, I'd prefer Michael Anthony over Wolfgang Van Halen (Eddie's son).
