“The best thing about this band is the members of this band Mark and Andrea are a happily married couple.”

We think that's the best thing too!

We had a lovely chat with Cindy Mich on her celeb-tastic show this past Wednesday Cin's Chat Corner

Our interview with the cool folks at Indie Band Guru is up on their site.

But here is a taste below, kind words from writer and founder, Keith Pro –

“The New York City scene is a very crowded one. Everyone who comes here is given a chance but to have any staying power you must be something special. Our friends from Makar have been a staple of the folk rock scene for the last 14 years. Their sound is powered by guitar and piano that blends indie rock energy, some raw punk, and the intimate feel of folk. Andrea and Mark of Makar are some of the hardest workers out there and they seem to always have fun doing it. We had a chance to chat with them recently and get behind the music.”

Woohoo!

Here’s what they have to say about us –

“MAKAR is a duo that have been breaking through the sea of Indie bands in New York City. Since 2002, they have been charming audiences with their vibrant brand of Indie-Folk that is noteworthy and delightful, as musicians Mark Purnell and Andrea DeAngelis find their heart and soul in their songs.

Earning a Top Ten spot on The Deli Magazine’s Top 300 NYC Indie Bands, the group impress with their latest release Funeral Genius. 2016 sees big things in store for the band, as MAKAR is set to release their third record, Fancy Hercules.”
