Mora Marie

The Name Mora Marie:
Mora: (Latin) - Delay

Mora Marie’s Unique Sound:
Gathering influences from a wide range of artists, Mora Marie has created a scintillating sound that brings a vivacious female voice to vibrant metal guitars. Coming from a small town filled with ska music, they have been able to build a unique sound that differs from anything in Manhattan. Coming from backgrounds of alternative rock, jazz, grindcore, and heavy metal, Mora Marie has found a way to mold those genres into their own sound. With hard hitting riffs and uncanny melodies that keeps the audience’s attention and interest. Being a more rock/ metal band, piano is thrown in to bring a softer side to the music. To add an even different turn, a special song on Mora Marie’s album EP 2007 involves the flute as the melody.
Origins of Mora Marie:
Mora Marie originated when Dane (guitarist) was interested in starting a new band. While searching for musicians, he ran across Krystal (singer, pianist) and asked if she would be interested in playing guitar. While being comfortable on the guitar, Krystal had wanted to continue singing and became the singer of the group. The two had tryouts for the rest of the spots and ran into Joe Griffiths who became the drummer. Recently, Mora Marie just added two new members named Dustin Wilson (guitarist) and Elijah Lee Stevens (bassist). Eric Moon (original second guitarist) had to leave for his PHD and Scott Schlageck was no longer able to play. So starting anew, Mora Marie is once again ready to thrive!
After forming the band in March 2007, Mora Marie has accomplished a great deal for their short period of being a band. Covering not only Manhattan, they have traveled to Junction City, Riley, Topeka, Lawrence, Baldwin City, Kansas City, and Wichita. With a great intention of traveling and entering a wide range of the Midwest music scene. When Mora Marie was only a band for 2 weeks, they entered the Kansas State Battle of the Bands and claimed second place and in the Riley county battle claimed first. They also claimed second place at the Opus Battle of the Bands. After being a band for six months, they released their first seven song EP. Mora Marie is a hard working, dedicated and fast working band with the intentions of great accomplishments.
Mora Marie’s Live Show:
Their live shows are nothing less than exhilarating and nonstop entertainment full of energy, head banging, rolling on the ground while playing, back flips in the middle of the set and jumping around. With all this high energy motion, Mora Marie does not lose their ability to play their music to perfection. They love to put on a thrilling show that the audience can enjoy and brings them back at future shows. Mora Marie wants nothing less than to bring unique music to everyone’s ear and spread their word to numerous people around the Midwest, and eventually the nation. So come a take a look for yourself, you won't be disappointed!
