Celebrate the release of the self-titled debut EP from Marathoner!
Led by Brooklyn-based Minnesota-native Andy Cook, Marathoner features fellow Minnesota music-making legends Al Church, Megan Mahoney, Zach Brose, and Jeremy Ylvisaker. Performing along with the band will be DJ House!
Along with opening sets by indie faves Yellow Ostrich and Nat Harvie, this is a not-to-be-missed night of great indie music.
Marathoner is both artistic and straightforward, weaving nostalgia-tinged electric guitar riffs over waves of synth and the grounding of a playful-yet-tight rhythm section. Led by Brooklyn-based, Minnesota-native Andy Cook, the band includes Megan Mahoney, Al Church, Zach Brose, and Jeremy Ylvisaker, blending the ethos of the Midwest with the rush of the coasts, producing music that aims to be both thoughtful and simply fun. The band’s new self-titled EP comes out on Brooklyn indie label Good Eye Records on March 11, 2022.
Yellow Ostrich is an experimental indie rock project centered around singer/songwriter Alex Schaaf. Emerging in 2009, Schaaf's lo-fi/bedroom pop emissions were eventually fleshed out by a handful of co-conspirators, and the band issued five more and a handful of EPs before going on hiatus after the release of 2014's Cosmos. Following the move from Brooklyn, NYC to Minneapolis, Yellow Ostrich reformed as a five-piece in 2021 and released the lush and inward-looking Soft along with a collection of previous tracks from across Schaaf’s ongoing tenure as a premier songwriter, arranger, and producer.
Nat Harvie (they/them) is a producer, recordist, and performance artist currently based in Duluth and Portland, OR. Delivering tender pop that is stark, alternative, lush and experimental, the producer/performer shapeshifts along a wide arc of story, style, and texture. Ever changing, their work is grounded in rich human connection, phenomenology, and simple mystery. Now, after a brief stint in the Pacific Northwest, Nat has returned to their hometown to work with Alan Sparhawk’s Charkickers’ Union label on the release of their sophomore album, Married in Song, released in February 2022.
