MAKAR | Check out our interview on Arena!

MAKAR, the brilliant band who hails from New York, are already creating a stir in the New Year. Made up of Andrea DeAngelis, and Mark Purnell (who are also husband and wife), they prove that they are a mainstay in the indie-folk scene. In recent years, the band had released two records;99 Cent Dreams and Funeral Genius, and have played venues all over Manhattan, Brooklyn and beyond. In2016 eager listeners will get a brand new earful of MAKAR music as they are set to release their new record, Fancy Hercules. I had the pleasure of speaking with Mark and Andrea, as we explore every aspect of the band, and what treasures the new record will hold.

A little about Arena:

“Arena is fixing a broken industry -- Arena helps independent artists survive in today's music economy by paying a living wage for streams and sales, while rewarding fans for listening to the music they love. We believe that:

Artists should be paid fairly every time their music is streamed or sold.

Fans should be able to listen to their favorite songs anywhere, anytime, without commercials or a monthly subscription.”
