‘... if you’re interested in hearing well-crafted, adventurous guitar music consciously building on our underground guitar heritage, then there isn’t a band that’s doing a better job of it right now than MarineVille’. - Steve Kerr, Staple Magazine, New Zealand.
MarineVille are a rock group from Wellington, New Zealand who have recently completed their 3rd album.
The bands line up is Mark Williams: gtr/vox (also of Bad Statistics, The Idle Suite), Greg Cairns: drums (ex-The Verlaines, King Loser, The Idle Suite), Jeremy Coubrough: keyboards (Signer, The Bright Colours) and our most recent addition is Denise Roughan: bass (also in The Ghost Club, and The 3Ds).
Album number 3 began life in 2006 as a collection of live recordings. Over the next three years the group added horns, piano and synthesizer squawk. Underneath the surface the sound of bird song, drones and a 9 volt battery clattering to the floor infused the songs with a spirit of subtle experimentation and psychodrama. During this time bass duties were taken on by Rebecca Rice (ex-National Youth Choir).
Previous MarineVille releases have included Ready for the Dance (Oak Park Records, 2001) and Diving the Wreck (Involve Records, 2005). In UK, The Wire magazine praised Ready for the Dance for it's "prominent, ragged guitars ... amassing then releasing vivid, intense bursts of energy".
In 2004 the second MarineVille album Diving the Wreck was released on Involve Records. Writing in the national Sunday Star-Times newspaper Grant Smithies praised the groups "delicate songs" and "dissonant tension" before adding "If they keep on travelling in this direction album number three may well be extraordinary".
They are now looking for a home for album three, the songs on this page are from the record. If you like it, get in touch.

Those dub vibrations are really coming through now man. Jeremy brings the sacredness to the table. I'd love to do a doco on you traveling to the West Indies and searching out some of your influences next year.
