Hey Marseilles is a musical group from Seattle, WA, that formed in the summer of 2006 after Nick and Philip forced Matt Bishop to write a song to an accordion riff and play it live for a work party downtown. The current lineup consists of seven members performing on guitars, cello, viola, accordion, piano, bass, glockenspiel, ukulele, mandolin, drums, and a plethora of rhythmic accessories. The music can be described as indie-folk, and has been compared to that of The Decemberists, Devotchka, and Bright Eyes.

The band released their first full-length self-produced album, “To Travels & Trunks” in December 2008.

    @CRAZYBALLIZTIK It's spelled Marseilles in English for whatever reason.

    Mistake if they do reference to the french city, Marseille is written without the s at the end.

    Great band. Tuneful, warm, and close-to-the-heart. Can't wait until their next full-length album comes out..

    I love this band but it's disappointing how the 'similar artists' are completely different. I need to find more music like this.

    The melody in "Cannonballs" is frighteningly similar to "Barometer Soup" by Jimmy Buffett... needless to say, amazing song, amazing band.

    Their Halloween show at the Columbia City Theater was outstanding! A thoroughly wonderful band, even more entertaining than usual in their costumes.

    At Bumbershoot Music Festival, we spoke with Hey Marseilles, about their thoughts on show preparation, obsessions with other artists, “free” music, and what they imagine success to be. READ HERE: http://www.groovemine.com/band-on-the-run_shooting-it-with-the-bands-2
