“The sultry, groove-driven Portland outfit My Favorite Everything. MFE, led by gritty siren-guitarist Maggie Brown, offers up swampy bass melodies that contrast sharply with the spitfire grit of the band's aggressive choruses, drawing influences from Zeppelin to Shirley Manson.” ---Willamette Week
Though we are as one I will hold you close Borrowed time is stolen time I’ll make you realize that I will hold you close.
Simple ring and stone Combine this happy home And even through the pain infused You shuffle step behind But I won’t let you fall . . .
Life has a consequence and its given to make you stare . . .
Those are some lyrics to the song “Stare” from the My Favorite Everything album “Wide Awake” that was released June 15, 2007. The song was penned by Shane Asbery, M*F*E’s bassist, while he was going through chemotherapy after being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2006. Shane passed away June 18, 2007---three days after the release of “Wide Awake”---he went peacefully with the album he worked so hard to create playing in the background and his bandmates, wife/vocalist Maggie Brown and drummer Jonathan Kreitler, by his side.

“Wide Awake” was supposed to be a mark in time for how far My Favorite Everything had come and where they were going musically. Now it is a legacy to Shane, a lasting memorial to him. My Favorite Everything will never be the same without him. Though the future of the band is in question, the album that was created is one of those irreplaceable moments that captures life in all its beauty and consequence.

Featuring “Stare” and “Supposedly”, the songs that took Shane out of this world, M*F*E’s first album is a meaningful, powerful rock and roll story with a very sad ending but amazing pages in between.
