The band's name is an acronym for Multi-sensory Aesthetic Experience, which is derived from a concept called Multi-sensory Aesthetic Theory that drummer Jacob Marshall studied while a student at Old Dominion University.
Jacob Marshall and Dave Elkins began what would become Mae by writing their first song, "Embers and Envelopes", in Marshall's living room. The band signed with Tooth and Nail Records and released their first album, Destination: Beautiful, in 2003. They released their second full-length album, The Everglow, in 2005. The band toured extensively to promote it, and also performed on the Vans Warped Tour. Mae re-released The Everglow in 2006, adding three new songs and a 2-hour DVD.
Later in 2006, the band announced that they had fulfilled their contract with Tooth & Nail and signed to Capitol Records for their third full-length album. Mae began recording the album in the fall of 2006, working with producer Howard Benson (who has produced albums for Saosin, My Chemical Romance, and Relient K). It is titled Singularity and was released on August 14, 2007. On June 19, 2007, the band released their first single from the upcoming album titled "Sometimes I Can't Make It Alone".
Mae split ways with Capitol Records in 2008. The band has embarked on a year-long independent project, releasing one song every month with all proceeds going to benefit humanitarian projects of the band's choosing. The first four months were compiled into the (m)orning EP. The next four months will be released as (a)fternoon and the final four as (e)vening.
According to Elkins in a 2003 interview, while the band members are Christians, Mae is not a "Christian band".
On September 24, 2007 Mark and Rob parted ways with Mae.
The two replacement members for touring are 20-year-old Josiah Schlater on bass and Robert Smith on keyboards. Schlater and Smith are members of the band Tokyo, also from Virginia Beach.[5]Official site: http://www.whatismae.com

MAE Lyrics
There's something inside me that wants to know you
Wants to be with you
Wants to see what's underneath and to compare our minds
And even though
I don't know what's your favorite color
And even though I don't know
What's your favorite Song
I wanna know
Why did you go?
Left me standing here with all of these questions
Why have you chosen a life without me
We both have seen how short it can be
Are you just scared
Are you living a lie
If we keep the doors shut it's always dark inside
But let's be honest
You didn't want me for the last 20 years why would you want me know?
Would I want you now? Now? Now?
And even though
You don't know what's my favorite color
And even though you don't know
What's my favorite Song
I Wanna know
Why did you go?
Left me standing here with all of these questions
Why have you chosen a life without me
We both have seen how short it can be
Are you just scared
Are you living a lie
If we keep the doors shut it's always dark inside
Just because we share the same blood
Doesn't mean you'll be the same as him
Cause he was my all and I was his
There's nothing you could do
To replace him
Why have you chosen a life without me
We both have seen how short it can be
Are you just scared
Are you living a lie
If we keep the doors shut it's always dark inside
Why did you close all the doors on me now
I don't believe it's as simple as this
How did you not reach out to me once
When we should be close
But we're lightyears apart
Wants to be with you
Wants to see what's underneath and to compare our minds
And even though
I don't know what's your favorite color
And even though I don't know
What's your favorite Song
I wanna know
Why did you go?
Left me standing here with all of these questions
Why have you chosen a life without me
We both have seen how short it can be
Are you just scared
Are you living a lie
If we keep the doors shut it's always dark inside
But let's be honest
You didn't want me for the last 20 years why would you want me know?
Would I want you now? Now? Now?
And even though
You don't know what's my favorite color
And even though you don't know
What's my favorite Song
I Wanna know
Why did you go?
Left me standing here with all of these questions
Why have you chosen a life without me
We both have seen how short it can be
Are you just scared
Are you living a lie
If we keep the doors shut it's always dark inside
Just because we share the same blood
Doesn't mean you'll be the same as him
Cause he was my all and I was his
There's nothing you could do
To replace him
Why have you chosen a life without me
We both have seen how short it can be
Are you just scared
Are you living a lie
If we keep the doors shut it's always dark inside
Why did you close all the doors on me now
I don't believe it's as simple as this
How did you not reach out to me once
When we should be close
But we're lightyears apart
