From ambient to orchestral rock, The Marmot Band plays original compositions in many different styles. We don't confine ourselves to any one genre, and we go wh
The Marmot Band plays an eclectic blend of music which reflects their philosophy of open-mindedness and drawing on knowledge from a variety of sources. The Marmots feature an ever-changing line-up with an infinite number of combinations - players of electronic and acoustic instruments from a variety of backgrounds encompassing a wide stylistic range. At the center of the Marmot Band is driving force and creator, Gavin Greenfield. He writes, arranges, and produces all music performed and recorded by the Marmots. His writing is not bound by any one style, and his arrangements vary from solo instruments to full orchestras. Gavin's most unique role in the project is the gathering and keeping of the actual marmots, whose role he claims is "absolutely essential to the recording process." Each winter, with the permission of federal officials, Gavin treks to an undisclosed location in the high country and selects the marmots that will be utilized in the upcoming year's projects. He has never revealed what factors influence the selection of the marmots, although past contributors to the project unanimously agree his choices are consistently appropriate. Much debate has circulated over whether Gavin allows the marmots to influence the tone of each project or if he chooses them with certain goals already in mind. He has remained characteristically quiet on this subject. Gavin assures the public that the marmots are treated very humanely and enjoy a comfortable, luxurious lifestyle. "I allow them to frolic free on my many acres and to dine to their satisfaction on bountiful fields of lupine."

Story behind the song
This song is about people who play with their handheld devices incessantly and think they're extremely important because of it.
Lyrics
I need to check my email There is no time to waste Is there a link to something With delicious wit and taste? Besides it's only been Forty minutes or was it forty five? Since I checked the devices That keep me, keep me alive And I recall those dreadful 20 minutes On the red line train from Grosvenor to the zoo I couldn't send no emails to no one Not even you CHORUS: And now I'm checking my email every day At the corner bar and the sidewalk cafe Checking my email every night By the TV screen and the fire light Every night Some people think it's too much Checking it at the funeral and the ball game They tell me That I ain't got, ain't got no shame And what about those dreadful 20 minutes On the red line train from Grosvenor to the zoo I couldn't get no emails from no one Not even you CHORUS I've done thousands of times This year alone It was all over me When I could do it from my phone But don't you sleep well at night Knowing you can reach me any time? Except when I'm on vacation I'm on de beach now And I need to check my email Does the wi fi work here? Or do I stand by the hand rail? There's things happening Important tings in de Milwuakee office I assure you Pressing matters well worthy of m'time. That's why I'm... Checking my email every day At the beautiful beach and the sandy bay Checking my email every night While the people dance by the firelight Every night CHORUS...
