A fixture on the St. Louis music scene for years with the late, lamented and as a host with (as well as its predecessor, the Noiseday Hootenanny), singer/songwriter Brian Andrew Marek is a man obsessed with sound and soul. showcases a wide range of his talents, as he handles all instrumentation (drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and several more exotic devices), vocals, songwriting, arrangement, engineering, mixing and production. A highly personal song cycle, finds Marek reclaiming the musical subtlety and dynamics that were lost amidst the din of Rocket Park's notoriously raucous performances., concocts amusingly-named side projects that few will ever hear (a small sampling: Tulip Sniper, Mr. Body Massage Machine, , Ethel the Tuba's Marihuana Brass, Gamera's Girlfriend, The Light Means Your Death) and, with , runs .Band/artist history
I was born, I listened to music, I made music, I still make music, here I am, take me as I am. Damn.Have you performed in front of an audience?I mostly play with my band , in which I play drums and sing lead. I also hit the occasional open mic night (where I'm as likely to accompany someone else as perform solo) and do a bona fide solo gig once in a blue moon (or two).
