Folk Malaria - we're here for you. You can count on us to bring you better music than whoever else you thought you liked before you heard us and stopped listening to anything else. Don't like psychedelic rock? Why not try out one of our refreshingly cheeky older pop rock or punk pieces? Too mature for punk? Well, we are too! I'm sure a track off one of our early 90's grunge albums will win your adoration. A little something for everyone who isn't useless. Simply put, we are the future.
Why this name?
It was handed down to us by our forefathers to continue the band our bloodlines have been taking part in for generations.
Do you play live?
We had an amazing show opening for Tull back in '69 where Ian Anderson actually hit on me. I must admit, his flute skills were a definite turn-on.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes everything a hell of a lot cheaper.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No, never. Unless it actually happened, then yes.
Band History:
Folk Malaria formed in 1812, and released their debut pop-rock LP "Rock N Roll for the Rock N Roll Soul" in 1813, right after they finished with the overture.
Thus began the eventual evolution of Folk Malaria towards the psychedelic rock powerhouse trio today, with the original members of the band continually passing the tradition down through their children, bringing us to the present time, many, many generations of Folk Malaria later.

Your influences?
We created every genre a good couple decades before they got popular. Our influences vary greatly on every release. Our 1813 debut release "Rock N Roll for the Rock N Roll Soul" had a strong Ramones ish influence, we since made burnout grunge, punk parody and burnout hippy music. Our album "Atomic Bomb" has the feel more like an early Blue Cheer or Pink Floyd record but with that trademark Folk Malaria muscle.
Soon a soundtrack to one of the documentaries about us, entitled "Folk Malaria: The Movie: The Soundtrack" will be released, which will finally make available sounds of many of the other genres our band has tapped in it's near 200 year run.
