MitchMarcus

Mitch Marcus founded the Mitch Marcus Quintet in 1999. From post-apocalyptic jazz to
scintillating trance hypnotism, the Mitch Marcus Quintet delivers a unique brand of original
music, taking you through a labyrinth of ever-shifting textures. Comprised of some of the SF
Bay Area's finest musicians, this dynamic collective features the extended compositions of
saxophonists Marcus and Sylvain Carton, as well as the rumbling opuses of drummer Ches Smith.
The members of the Quintet also play in a diverse array of Bay Area bands, such as
Donovan, Stanley, Trevor Dunn's Convulsant Trio, Good for Cows, Japonize Elephants,
Realistic Orchestra, and Shotgun Wedding Hiphop Symphony.

Atmos

The members of the Atmos Trio are all extremely well-rounded musicians. Having been hiring
their services out to other musical projects in every conceivable musical styles for years, it
wasn't until 2004 that the Trio decided to pursue their own muse. Combining singable melodies
usually associated with "pop" music, unexpected harmonic and tonal shifts of moderns jazz
and World textures, the Atmos Trio is busy carving a unique niche for themselves. Mix these
elements with stunning solo and ensemble improvisations and the Trio will take you on a
musical journey not soon forgotten.

Over the years, it seems like the members of the Atmos Trio have played almost
everywhere for everyone.

Whether playing underground Oakland warehouse parties, performing to a festival
crowd of 10,000, or touring the outback of Australia, the Lovemakers’ success is
the result of a reputation and fan base built on solid and legendary bawdy, flawless
and theatrical live performance. They are determined to overcome the barrier with
modern audience’s habit of too-cool immobility and to this day their live shows are
an anomaly of movement in today’s self-conscious live rock scene.

Famously uncoupled on the eve of recording their major label debut “Times of
Romance” on Interscope Records after a 3-year relationship, they pressed on
with an ethic fused in DIY methods, experimentation, art and fun. Lisa, a Stanford
graduate, former marine biologist and retired circus musician describes their current
relationship as “marriage, without the routine sex.” The energy of their friendship,
anger, annoyance, and inescapable passion has become a muse of limitless
resource.
