She asked awesome, scintillating questions and also said such nice things about us! Sampling below:

“Makar is the folk-rock duo of Andrea DeAngelis and Mark Purnell. Creating an impeccable brand of music, the group, who have been making waves the past several years, are gearing up for their latest release Fancy Hercules which will finally see the light of day in 2017. The musically charged duo pen poetic lyrics and mystical melodies that are thought-provoking and breathtaking all at once. This month we sat down with DeAngelis and Purnell from Makar, to catch up on their 2017 horizon.”

“With recent events in the U.S., Makar brings a very important and political song to the table. Recently releasing their latest single, "America Where Are You?" we hear the band voicing their thoughts and concerns in the latest piece. Fitting for the 2017 political landscape and Inaurguration Day, the group brings to the table a rational and heartfelt concern in the world, and what a worrisome world it is. Sharing the story of the haves and have nots, the rich and poor, and beyond, their hearts capture the essence and concerns of the American people.” – writer, Carrie Lowell

It’s their 10th anniversary, what an honor to be featured again!

A little taste of the magic:
Me: Okay, this is the Phile’s 10th anniversary and I have been asking my Alum guests this year what they were doing ten years ago in 2006… so, what were you both doing?

Mark: Meditating on the top of Everest. I had gone for a Sunday stroll to clear my head and just happened to make it up in one go. Didn’t even need base camp to adjust my oxygen levels. Just went for it and once I had seen the view, which wasn’t too shabby, I slid back down, just my snow pants taking the hits, and there were many because that damn mountain is rocky! But I made it down in one piece, knocked about but much wiser. I don’t know, either that or Makar had just released our debut album, "99 Cent Dreams," and unleashed holy hell on the man!

Andrea: Still working on my damn novel.

We are stunned by her words.

“Filled with gorgeous color and stunning imagery, Makar’s Folk-Rock sounds will equally entice and delight you. With their recent release in tow “Funeral Genius,” the group is gearing up for a jumpstart in 2017 on the heels of their long-awaited follow up, “Fancy Hercules.” Their creative and innovative songs drive with a force that is enlightening and delightful, even when the songs gain a dark edge. Makar proves themselves as artists, both musically and lyrically, which makes us want to know more about the rising group.”

She also asked some fantastic questions.
