All Marbles is a highly intriguing, completely original, fresh new addition to the improvisational rock scene. Eric ..Bones.. Parkes and Jayson Schell, both classically trained guitarists, first met at music school attending the University of Redlands California. There Jayson studied classical and jazz and Eric delved heavily into improvisational rock. They soon hooked up with drummer Raul Salazar, who had previously been playing in the raging Ska/Reggae scene, playing on bills with bands like Sublime and The Skeletones. After a year or two of cycling through bass players, yet creating a new inventive foundation of sound, they finally found the final member to their creation, bassist Philip Meilke. All Marbles is a buffet, if you will, of songwriters. Each brings their own styles and tastes to the table. Eric..s songs, equipped with epic jams, have a distinct Southern Classic Rock sound, where as Phillip brings a newer Indie/blues feel to their songs. Finally Jayson, writing everything from bouncy, danceable tunes, to head rocking guitar songs, will always lighten up a set and get people moving. For the past five years All Marbles has concentrated mainly on perfecting their live stage performance, in the fashion of old and current jam bands, like The Grateful Dead, Phish, Govmt Mule, and moe. They did sporadic studio recordings working with all kinds of Southern California..s most talented sound engineers. Then they teamed up with Rivercidal Records who just released their first full length self titled album, which has been flying off the shelves and creating a deafening buzz. They plan to release a live album in the upcoming year. All Marbles is looking forward to hitting the road and seeing all their fans joining them in their journey to the center of rock and roll, and will leave no venue unjammed.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/16/2004
Band Website: allmarbles.com
Band Members: Jayson Schell, Eric Parkes, Raul Salazar, Philip Mielke

Influences: Allman Brothers, Traditional Reggaes/Ska, The Grateful Dead, Neil Young, Willie Nelson, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, David Bowie (circa 65-78), most 60's British "Nuggets", Doc Watson, T-Bone Walker,.... In the CD-player these days- Live Dead, Live Rust, Assembly of Dust, Saunders and Garcia, Live moe, Medeski Martin and Wood, Wilco, Hayden, Jeff Buckley, Victor Wooten, THE OHIO PLAYERS!, George Clinton & the P-Funk, Bob Marley, Dire Straits, Elliot Smith, Elton John, Franz (goddamn catchy). And shouts to local artists we've loved in the long haul: Oso Rey, Bred and Budda (in SD), Hobo Jazz, The Other Side, Bad News for the Toros, Bucksworth.
Sounds Like: An evolved Moby Grape, with hints of rock-a-billy and a strong attraction to psychodelia. In our 'market tests' of playing every roadhouse dive along Interstates 10 and 215 and 91, 9 out of 10 older Hells Angels love us, most the younger ones are quoted wanting something a little... simpler.

View All Marbles's EPK Steve Savage, Director of "Cosmic Radio" (find us on the soundtrack!) comments: "Bluesy, Alternative, Retro Rhythm Gods. Rockin' melodies on a cloud of loosly hung Tie-Dyed Curtains. I love the sound of this band. The music you'd hear David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino listening to while cruising around Tijuana in a pickup truck with Elvis at the wheel. The pre-army Elvis, that is."
Record Label: Rivercidal Records
