Is has been a long journey now for the Mad Marionettes. For many years Daniel and Ivan McCormick have adopted music as part of their lives, and I could almost say, they're reason to live.
Since kids they have dedicated their time and passion to music; they started a few projects performing here and there with out knowing where it would take them. One day I had the pleasure of meeting these amazing people, not realizing that this would change my life tremendously. Daniel invited me to be part of their music project at the time, the Psychobilly Flapjacks, and even though I had never, ever, played a musical instrument in my life, it seemed like our friendship and common interest in music, put that big difference aside. Many weeks passed before I was able to play the piano but for the first time, I had the opportunity to understand a better way of life, full of music, friendship, fun, but the best out of all, I found a new family in them.
It has been a long time since those days, Daniel and Ivan created a new band called the Mad Marionettes, a project in which I have been a part of since the beginning.
The past couple of years, the Marionette project has evolved into what it is now, and I keep admiring the genius of Daniel and Ivan who have created a hole new style of music, and even when we cannot describe the type of music that we now play, I can truly say that the sounds that we are making are in a sense, a way to prove that even the saddest moments are as beautiful and full of life as the most exiting moments of our lives. I truly believe this because the Marionettes have help me understand that this project is not about finding fame, or wealth, but about uniting people, about performing and making everyone that listens to our music forget they're every day troubles, the music is about our friendship, our family, and about making those sad moments of our lives truly beautiful.
People have been inquiring about when the Marionettes will performing again and when are they going to be able to buy our music. What I can say is that at this moment Daniel and Ivan are working with producer John Avila, bass player for Oingo-Bongo, and they are recording our first single and E.P. The Mad Marionettes will be performing again in May with the new 8 piece live band.
I know the wait has been long but don’t worry friends, you will be hearing from us very, very soon.
Thank you so much for your constant support and kind affection.

Dig your sound. Kyle played Cafe Society for me back at work and I think the production value is sound. If you're into accordion as much as I' am you should check out Duckmandu (Aaron Seeman). He's not only a great guy, he's a monster with the instrument.

Pharaohs Den will be fund raising to get our Minor CUP permit the city wants us to have by January 1st 2010.
The city recommended this permit so we can fall in the guidelines of the Rain Cross District of Entertainment and Arts of downtown Riverside,Ca.. Pharaohs Den has been a part of Downtown Riverside for almost two years and this area would not be the same with out it. We are organizing a few fundraisers so we can obtain this minor CUP permit. Thanks for the support.
Now we are organizing an Acoustic Electric show December 20th 2009 to help raise the funds needed. The Minor CUP costs 1,463.00 dollars. Once we obtain this permit the good thing is we will be open to the public. Right now, Pharaohs Den is a private facility. We recommend you have your membership before you attend any performances.
The lifetime memberships fee is$5.00. Please come out and support music and art in Downtown Riverside. Pharaohs Den would like to thank all of its members and artists that have shaped the uniqueness of the Pharaohs Den.
