About Me

********
One of the truly towering figures in rock n’ slows recent history, Marblearchie and their slow burning tales creates an instant appeal and ragged beauty. With a unique sound, Built from a love of rock ‘n’ roll, country tinged folk and garage, there is a sense of space and scale in the music that is unmistakably Australian. Rising through the ranks of Melbourne’s music scene with an explosive live show that has been described as being as "exiting and rambunctious as a new born colt", Marblearchie has played with Melbourne heavyweights Spencer P. Jones and Bakelite Age.
Marbearchie have been busy recording their first single ‘On the Corner.’ At the moment Marblearchie are taking a break from shows to continue recording their follow up album. Marblearchie will no doubt be playing some shows towards the end of the year whilst adding some finishing touches to the album.
Marblearchie’s single On the Corner was recorded at A Secret Location Recorders with Paul Maybury over a few days at the start of 09. On the Corner features Phil Gionfriddo (Jacky Winter, Bowerbirds, Spencer P Jones) on ghostly guitars, and Julian Montane (Youranimal) on backing vocals in Blood Red Rose. Big thanks
