NOTICE: this information could change as i find out more stuff about the band.
THE MARQ is currently:
Erich Wald(Vocals),Will Parry(Keys), & Phillip Meneses(Guitar),a trio of like minded individuals who plan to have their music widely known, and make their "marq" in the world. All 3 memembers are very talented,and dedicated to their music. They have played 3 successful shows; two here in New Jersey, and one in Club Rehab in NY. They are supported by new music act/ MTV Real World star Brianna Taylor.The Marq was originally a 7 piece band, but lost 4 of it's members, John(vocals), Josh(bass),Steve Ornest(guitar) and Chad(drums).
I had first heard of this band back when they were called "Identical Twins".Phillip, Steve, and Josh were not in the band at the time. They had a guitarist, named Brandon, who played with them when i first saw them live. They performed for me and my friends at the Russel O. Brackman Middle school(Barnegat,NJ), were Erich was teaching chorus(yes, i had chorus, so therefore, he was one of my teachers). Shortly after that, i was told that Brandon was no longer in the band, and that they have new members. & Later, the band changed their name to The Marq. On May 10th, 2008, they played their first real gig, at the Tunes Against Turmoil benefit concert in Thelma, NJ @ the Tony Canale Park. This was also their first performance with the current band members. The Marq played their second show on June 25th, at The Stone Pony (in Asbury Park,NJ). Steve Ornest clearly had left the band, because if you watch the videos of The Marq at The Stone Pony, he is nowhere on that stage.On August 12th The Marq played their 3rd show, and last show for a while, at Club Rehab in New York. From what i heard, it was a great night, and im sure they did an amazing job.
Most Recently, The Marq has put up two newer songs("Nothing Left to Say" & "Listen") onto their myspace music player, and one other song("Sticky Fingers") from the footage of them at Club Rehab. Another song, "Take Me Away", can be heard at the end of the band's "Press Kit" video. The song plays during the credits.
The Marq recently lost 3 of it's member and are currently looking for a bassist and a drummer.
Singer Brianna Taylor was scheduled to do a show w/ The Marq opening up for her at the Tin Angel, in Phillidelphia,PA, but due to scheduling conflicts, the show was postponed.On October 26th, 2008, the show went on, but without The Marq. However, Brianna says that she will be doing plenty more shows with these guys.
The Marq has so far released 10 songs onto their myspace page. The following tracks are: Alibis, Christine, Mr. Right, What It Couldnt Be, Even If I Stay,Afraid Of Alone, Listen, Nothing Left To Say,Sticky Fingers, and Take Me Away. "Mr. Right" is supposedly going to be their debute single, according to Erich Wald, but im pretty sure this will change. There are two other songs that are not on their myspace at all, but have been performed live, titled, "Goodbye", and "Leave Me Alone". You can actually hear a 13 secon clip of this song in my videos on my personal myspace page.The song "Leave Me Alone" cant be heard anywhere online. It was performed for me, and my friends at my school, when The Marq was still "Identical Twins". They also played "Alibis", "Christine", and "Sticky Fingers". Most likely, all of these songs will be on their album, which will hopefully be coming out real soon. The Marq covered Miley Cyrus's SEE YOU AGAIN @ Club Rehab.
All in all, this is band is different from any other band you've heard. They will make it to the top. Listen to their music, go to their shows, and you'll see what i mean.
SIDE NOTES: Will Parry and Steve Ornest have started a group together, called "Falling Riviera".They are soon going to put out an EP, due in early 2009. To hear their tunes, check out their music myspace page: Click Here!
Chad and Josh are in a band called "Johnny Stranger", which they have been in for quite awhile. However, Josh & Chad are no longer in this band.Their upcoming 3rd album, Galacticus 9, is due to come out in 2009.
