Mayday Mae's profile photo

Mayday Mae

Surrounded by the influence of 1950s-60s pop culture and the gritty underground of San Jose DIY, mayday mae! is a queer storyteller at heart. If you asked her, she would probably describe her sound as modern vintage-pop revival with a rock spirit. 



Her newest single, dump your boyfriend! (let's lez out) tells the tale of lesbian angst and disgust towards the choices and dynamics perpetuated by cishet women in their romantic relationships. She invites you to immerse yourself in the feeling of knowing that while this vintage landscape is enticingly beautiful, nothing is as it seems.
