Hartford CT, United States (2001 – present)

The Magik Markers are a noise rock band from Hartford, Connecticut. The members, Elisa Ambrogio, Pete Nolan and Leah Quimby started the band in their basement in 2001. After opening for Sonic Youth on their American tour in 2004, the band gained notoriety. Their debut album, I Trust My Guitar, Etc. (released in vinyl only), was released in 2005 on Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace label. In 2006, they released A Panegyric To The Things I Do Not Understand under Gulcher Records, the Markers’ first proper CD. Also in 2006, the band recorded a session for Southern Records’ Latitudes series, which was released as The Voldoror Dance.

Leah Quimby left in May 2006. Various people filled in before they eventually settled as a duo comprised of original members Pete and Elisa. Julie Tomlinson was picked up in 2007 to handle keyboard and bass duties on tour.

Their latest album BOSS, produced by Lee Ranaldo, was released September 2007.

Magik Markers plays in Veiko Õunpuu’s feature film “The Temptation of St. Tony”. We can hear and see them twice during the film.

went to a live show, here's how it goes: singer/guitarist tries to play guitar with teeth, she can't, she keeps holding the guitar to her face and plucks with her fret hand. luckily there's this video to tell me how i should deal with this band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5eNcFRit8M

What exactly is it like? Is it continuing the path they were on with BOSS or is it like their more recent outings on Pwtre Ser and Danau Blues? Or a new route entirely? I'm guessing its not like their older stuff. Basically are the people saying its rubbish, fans of the recordings they've done other than BOSS?

On second listen, there is quite a lull in the middle of the album. Don't Talk In Your Sleep still rules though.
