THAUMATROPE

Cinematic is the word most often used to describe Minneapolis based Marah in the Mainsail's sound. Precise yet primitive jungle drums set the stage for the eclectic and powerful ensemble to sweep you away into their haunting world. Like oil and water, Durry's gravel voice alongside Mercades' crystal clarity form a stirring, yet beautiful contrast. All being thrusted foreword by aggressive percussion, growling base, and soaring brass. Their lyrics paint a thrilling picture of monsters and ghosts, murderers and thieves, love and guilt, and everything in between.

 

Since debuting their full length album "Thaumatrope" in 2015, the band has gained considerable notoriety in the Midwest, and continues to grow their exceptionally loyal fanbase across the country. They later signed with Minneapolis local Last Triumph Records, and released Thaumatrope on 12” vinyl. Poised to launch into the rest of the US and beyond, Marah in the Mainsail continues to stand out from the pack, and bring their unique blend of musical influences to the alternative music scene 

Vocals/guitar - Austin Durry

Vocals/organ - Mariah Mercades

Alternative percussion - Austin Wilder

Trombone - John Baumgartner 

Drums - Dane Hoppe

Bass - Austin Tang

As we wade through the ocean of work in the race to complete Bone Crown, we have some great shows coming down the pipeline. Our last show at Icehouse was one to remember. We return to Icehouse July 15th. With a great MPLS band like @tabahsound on the roster, tickets are likely to sell out, so don't hesitate to order them now! Ticket link on our Facebook.

Wild times are on the way. In the wake of the kickstarter, we're had at work behind the scenes, getting everything in order for our biggest release to date, and a major shift as we unveil the next chapter of MITM. Come out to @astercafe_ _ this Saturday for an intimate acoustic set from Durry and John in support of @littleriddlesband. We'll talk over some details of the story and play a few brand new songs off of our upcoming record Bone Crown.
