El Paso, United States (2003 – present)

This band combines all types of different sounds and instruments to create an ambiance few have heard since bands like Yes, Pink Floyd and King Crimson hit the scene in earlier years

Zechs Marquise formed in the fall of 2003 going by the name of Monolith, and they played their first show in spring of 2004. Since then the band has been creating a stir in their hometown of El Paso, TX. With their energetic and always evolving live performances the band brings the listener along with them on their journey. Utilizing the live elements of improvisation, and applying them to , the listener is transposed from the audio aspects of music to the visual. As proclaimed by Crystal Robert, booker and promoter of The T-Lounge, “a fusion of senses resulting in a unique and rock experience.”

Over the course of two years members Michael Farraro on drums, Marfred Rodriguez-Lopez on bass, and Matt Wilkson and Marcos Smith on guitar and Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez on Keys, have had the honor to play with band such as, The Album Leaf, The Roots of Orchis, Oh My God, Seneca, and Metaron/Art Lewis, just to name a few. They have recently been recording their first album under the guidance and helpful hand of two-time Grammy nominee Vavy Lozano at CPAM studios.

    The first album is good. I own it on vinyl. I would recommend it to those that are a fan of the second album. It is rather different.

    This is the second band I've checked out solely on the name (used to be a huge GW fan, lol). It was a real WTF moment, as naming your band after Zechs is clearly genius…the music had to be nothing less than pure awesome…and it was! Luckily, you can sometimes judge a book by its title and still win. Score.
