"Forget the Van Halens, if you want to know about a
true musical dynasty, look no further than the Rodriguez-Lopez's! In between
Omar, Marcel, and Marfred, these talented hermanos are changing the face of
free-form jamming." -- MTV Tres
"Thrusting listeners into chase scenes through psychedelic dreamscapes is nothing new for El Paso prog rock instrumentalists Zechs Marquise. However, the major difference on Getting Paid isn't the fear of being chased, but of what's running up behind you." -- Los Angeles Times The Mars Volta sibling band Zechs Marquise announce summer co-headlining North American dates with Northern Ireland's And So I Watch You From Afar. Following the band's recent stint as main support for At The Drive-In's reunion tour, Zechs Marquise joins ASIWYFA on June 30th to kick off the extensive tour in Anaheim, CA. Please see complete dates below.
Consequence of Sound recently premiered the
video for "Everlasting Beacon of Light" -- a
standout track from the band's latest album, Getting Paid --
featuring surprise cameos, some very intense and very real gangster dudes,
animal-headed people in the desert and much more awesome weirdness. Directed
by The 90s.
Zechs Marquise also recently posted a live in-studio video session for Terroreyes.tv performing the title track to the album. Watch it on Vimeo or YouTube.
Zechs Marquise, the El Paso, TX quintet are back
with their sophomore album Getting Paid, bringing an intensified
swagger to the band's multifaceted psych-prog haze for their most aggressive
and versatile effort to date. "We liked that hip-hop attitude,"
explains drummer Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez of the album title. "Getting
your piece, taking yours." And, Getting Paid certainly
finds the band fully taking charge of their musical destiny.
In the years since their auspicious 2009 debut Our
Delicate Stranded Nightmare, Zechs Marquise
toured extensively throughout the U.S., proving to be a
formidable live act supporting Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group and At
The Drive-In as well as leading their own headlining tours. Zechs
Marquise have also grown considerably in other ways. Recent addition Rikardo
Rodriguez-Lopez on keyboards and trumpet joins his brothers, drummer Marcel
and bassist Marfred alongside guitarists Matthew Wilkson and Marcos Smith
contributing to the band's expanded sound. Not only have they reached new
plateaus of entrancing riffs and rhythms, but Getting Paid also
integrates vocals on select songs, including guest performances by
vocalist/guitarist Matthew Embree and El Paso singer Sonny
Baker.
