The Marquees

About Me

THANK YOU for visiting The Marquees' myspace page. Vincent, Mike, and Robbie are very proud to present you with our latest sound recordings. We would also like to thank Richard Rupert at the Green Valley Recording studio(http://www.greenvalleyrecording.com) for putting up with the noise. The Marquees have only been an active band since early 2007. The members' chemistry, however, goes back further. Vince Dubesky and Mike Thomas have known each other since high school, sharing their love of all things Britpop in several bands. Robbie was also busy working on his best Keith Moon impersonation in bands throughout his schooling. A chance phonecall would bring two childhood acquaintances together again (Robbie used to tap a set of pencil's on the back of Vince's chair during class in the second grade). Soon after, Robbie signed on to round out the band's riot-in-a-bottle sound, a snarl of punk defiance that comes with growing up in the blue-collar, post-industrial city of Hazleton, PA. Since then, it's been all systems go. Through relentless practicing and live performances, The Marquees have perfectly blended the chirp of 60's pop with the deafening siren of literate, hipster indie-rock.
