About Me

MAKTWAIN are a group of four centered in Downtown Los Angeles, brought together by gravity in the year 1998. Layering electric guitars, synthesizers and electric/acoustic percussion, MAKTWAIN create instrumental music for the endless imagination. Their music has been played on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic, Sounds Eclectic, and Broadband shows + KXLU's Demolisten and several other college and independent radio stations nationwide. MAKTWAIN was nominated for "best instrumental band" at the 2004 LA WEEKLY music awards. MAKTWAIN is currently performing live in anticipation of the release of their debut full-length record, "NIGHTS CAN BE SO LONG."
