MySpace a place for friends

October 25th, 2009

In my short lived "pre-music" days I was a footballer. I played center for the Conshohocken Golden Bears. I weighed in at 68lbs and I sucked hard. Once we played "East Falls" on the frozen dirt field across the street from "Pat's Steaks" in South Philadelphia. I'm guessing we lost. Mostly I remember "East Falls" hitting their thigh pads and clapping their hands to the Queen "We Will Rock You" beat and chanting "Put 'em in the Graveyard ooh ah" over and over. It was terrifying.

In the past our band never played many new songs before records were "officially" released. We always felt new albums/new songs were best absorbed as complete thoughts...records had sequence and rhythm, each song made more sense propped up by its fellow jams, and as the final guitars or bagpipes rang out you could feel like you'd been on a kinda rock & roll journey. We still feel that way. But...

Considering it's been such a long time since we shared a song and dance together we wanna put this out there for y'all...something new to enjoy and discuss while we wait for the other shoe to drop. We also promise that your $contribution will not be blown in some smoky pub but will aid us greatly in bringing a lot more "unreleased" Marah music into the world this year. Think of the mix tape possibilities.

"Put 'em in the Graveyard" is not a "single" in the "Love is a Battlefield", "Shock The Monkey" kinda way, but merely a new song we are quietly and independently "making available" now due to the timely Halloweenish connotation of its title. Get it?

In 2010 we are gonna play in Syracuse and Serbia. We will spill buckets of sweat on SXSW in Texas and The Basque Country and hopefully Green Bay too. We're gonna need to work real hard but It's exciting, we're gonna do it. We're still in.

So have fun everybody and please remember to sign up for our mailing list. Much album news and tour dates comin' round the mountain.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Yours Truly, David Bielanko and MARAH

Hello Folks,

We're getting ready to do a bunch of acoustic trio shows that will take us from Raleigh, NC to Pittsburg, PA. We'll also be heading up to Canada with the full band for the Light of Day Concert Series in Niagara Falls, as well as a show in Toronto, and then we'll be flying over to Spain to perform at the Luna Lunera Festival in Sos del Rey Catolicos. This Fall we are looking forward to the release of a brand new record and much more extensive full-on rock-n-roll touring.

Happy New Year! January 2009: Marah merrily finished off 2008 playing Christmas shows in Spain, and they are now mixing their next full length record with Ray Kennedy in Nashville, TN. Here's a fun video of Dave, Christine & Johnny performing 'Santos de Madera' backstage after the show in Barcelona, Dec. 2008, captured by Paul Murff.
