RIYL: The Mars Volta, Omar Alfredo Rodriguez-Lopez Quintett
Zechs Marquise is:
Matt Wilkson
Marcos Smith
Marfred Rodriguez-Lopez
Michael Farraro
Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez
Not everyone understands just what music is all about, what writing and
harmonizing really consists of, and what it means to wait patiently for
success and giving up the socially accepted ways of living for true success.
One can see just how a band should work together to look and sound as though
they have been in the business for decades when watching Zechs Marquise play
live. This band combines all types of different sounds and instruments to
create an ambiance few have heard since bands like Yes, Pink Floyd and King
Crimson hit the scene in earlier years
Zechs Marquise formed in the fall of 2003 going by the name of Monolith, and
they played their first show in spring of 2004. Since then the band has been
creating a stir in their hometown of El Paso, TX. With their energetic and
always evolving live performances the band brings the listener along with
them on their journey. Utilizing the live elements of jazz improv, and
applying them to rock, the listener is transposed from the audio aspects of
music to the visual. As proclaimed by Crystal Robert, booker and promoter of
The T-Lounge, ôa fusion of senses resulting in a unique and psycadellic rock
experience.ö
Over the course of two years members Michael Farraro on drums, Marfred
Rodriguez-Lopez on bass, and Matt Wilkson and Marcos Smith on guitar, have
had the honor to play with band such as, The Album Leaf, The Roots of Orchis,
Oh my God, Seneca, and Metaron/Art Lewis, just to name a few. They have
recently been recording their first album under the guidance and helpful hand
of two-time Grammy nominee Vavy Lozano at CPAM studios.
Zechs plans to tour in the near future to promote their up and coming album
with high hopes that others will find what so many have found in their music,
true enthusiasm passion, and inventiveness.
