New Album Release Party And Charity Fundraiser

Hello. As many of you do, we, the members of MARMO feel quite strongly that this current administrations "Zero Tolerance" immigration policy is not in keeping with the intent of the founders of this country we are all proud to be citizens of.  As such, we have decided to donate all profits we make from CD and T-Shirt sales at this Friday's "Fictional" album release party at Silk City Coffee in beautiful downtown Manchester, CT. From the band's official Facebook page today (written before the executive order was signed this evening): "In the spirit of complete transparency... At $10 per CD, MARMO has about a 50% margin (we pay about $5 per CD). The group feels strongly enough about this issue that even if we sell every CD and T-shirt we bring to the show, we will yield exactly ZERO profit. Beyond our out of pocket costs, EVERYTHING is going to this critically important cause. That said, this will not be a heavy, preachy downer of an eveni

We are so excited about our new album, "Fictional"... and love the album art.  Check it out! Referencing the title song, the members of MARMO got to  calling the  man with the guitar, "floaty guy" As this post is being written, the album has been submitted for final proofing.  The album release party is June 22nd, but we're hoping to release it prior to that - late May.  Watch this page!

ARTWORK SCAVENGER HUNT

Hey, hi, MARMO-sets. The group is all done recording the new album and is now at the point of putting together CD artwork… AND WE WANT YOUR HELP!!! We’ve got the idea of using images that reflect things in the lyrics of the songs.  Over the course of THIS WEEKEND, we’d like you to grab your camera, your pens and pencils, your crayons, your paint brushes or whatever you need and send us your images to include on the CD jacket! “What the heck do I get for this, MARMO?”, you might be asking yourself.  Well, how about your name printed inside the CD sleeve?  And every person whose art is chosen will get a FREE DOWNLOAD OF THE ALBUM!  Cool, right?
