Biography

New York City (2007 – present)

Marnie Stern (born March 18, 1976) is a musician, songwriter, and guitarist from New York City. She has garnered acclaim for her technical skill and tapping style of guitar play.

Stern has cited many musical influences that contribute to her sound, including Hella, Lightning Bolt and Yoko Ono.

In early 2007, Kill Rock Stars released her debut album, In Advance Of The Broken Arm. It was well received by critics, and most favorably by The New York Times, citing it as “the year’s most exciting rock ‘n’ roll album.” In mid 2007, Stern toured the US and UK with Hella’s Zach Hill and The Advantage’s Robby Moncrieff in support of her debut album. In 2008, Stern was named one of Venus Zine’s “Greatest Female Guitarists of All Time,” in their spring 2008 issue, and was nominated “Female Artist of the Year” and “Punk Album of the Year” for the 2008 Plug Music Awards.

Marnie Stern’s second album, This Is It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That, was released October 7, 2008. Upon release, it garnered the title of “Best New Music” as well as #44 on “The 50 Best Albums of 2008” from Pitchfork Media. Stern toured Europe and the US in support of the album with former U.S. Maple guitarist Mark Shippy, bassist Malia James, and a varying lineup of drummers.

    Yes to Marnie. Yes the the new record. She is still defying the laws of diminishing returns by getting more enjoyable with every subsequent listen.

    Zach's absence is why the new album is so good

    It hasn't hooked me straight away like the last record did, but it's still sounding very fine indeed.

    New album is maybe a tad more pop-oriented and accessible, still wonderfully idiosyncratic. A less hyperactive drumming lets the songs breathe a little more.

    Really liking the new album. A worthy follow-up to S/T which still remains my favourite. As much as I like Zach Hill it was kind of nice to hear someone else drumming for her on this record.

    @goodshotjanson I said last 2 because I think they're a step above the debut and are the trust standouts (at least in my opinion) :)

    theboredone- agreed, and it's last 3. But props for the album name, title track, and some pleasantness here and there; hope she gets some love
