Event Description

Union Events is pleased to announce a Vancouver show at the Rio Theatre with the Arizona rock band The Maine w/ Real Friends, Knuckle Puck & the Technicolors. The four bands are touring together as the American Candy Tour – Spring 2015.

Despite sharing their name with a northeastern state, the Maine formed in 2007 in Tempe, AZ, a collegiate suburb of Phoenix. Most of the bandmembers -- singer John O'Callaghan, guitarists Kennedy Brock and Jared Monaco, bassist Garrett Nickelsen, and drummer Pat Kirch -- were in high school at the time, and the guys wasted little time turning their '90s radio rock band influences into a familiar, infectious pop-punk sound.
