Quick Hit Band Interview: MRCH

MRCH at the Moroccan Lounge

Interview with the band (with Mickey). Enjoy:

How would you describe your sound? Indie electronic / synthwave. Somewhere in the vein of Metric, Phantogram & perhaps Cocteau Twins. DIY.

If folks from Los Angeles were going to visit Phoenix, what bands or venues would you suggest they check out?

A.

Venues: Valley Bar, Crescent Ballroom, The Van Buren, Rebel Lounge. All great spots with awesome sound, good food & drinks, friendly staff. Plus the best bands from all around on any given night. Phoenix can be a little unique in its preferences too, so you can often see a band like Alvvays or Cut Copy play for a 500 cap space - so it’s a nice cozy experience.

Bands:

There’s a really wide range of musical tastes in the PHX scene. Here are a few we dig -

Secret Attraction (shoe-gazy-verbed vox & synths)
Nanami Ozone (garage rock)
Paper Foxes (alt pop)
Playboy Manbaby (ruckus punky stuff)
House of Stairs (jazz fusion)

Own final thoughts: I (Mickey) am a vegan. Jesse’s favorite thing in the universe is a good al pastor street taco. We agree on the excellence of Pete Rock.
