News and Info...

That's right, for one night only, Adam Leiter will be back onstage singing the songs you love with Sad Marvin. This special guest appearance is made possible by him being in town to celebrate his bachelor party so come on out and show him some love before he ties the knot. We don't know if we'll get this chance again, so expect it to be so off the hook that Verizon will go out of business.

Venue: Middle East Upstairs
Address: 480 Mass Ave, Central Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139
Phone: 617.864.3278
Details: $8 cover, 18+

Former Morphine saxophonist Dana Colley collaborates with Bourbon Princess’ front woman / bassist Monique Ortiz and Larry Dersch of Binary System on A.K.A.C.O.D’s debut record, Happiness. Creating a darkly psychedelic sound that is sensual, cinematic and otherworldly, Colley & Co pay homage to the “low rock” sound created by his former band while pushing musical boundaries and forging new ground.

Sad Marvin is a perfect fit for this set with their unique blend of genre-nonspecific stylings and the sultry, smoky vocals of Amanda ZW.
The night is rounded out with local support from The Big Disappointments and The Murder.

After a long hiatus but certainly not a hibernation, Sad Marvin is back with new material, a new outlook, and a brand new singer in the form of Amanda ZW. It's been a long transition, moving from male fronted alt/indie/groove rock to female fronted alt/indie/groove rock, but they hope fans will appreciate their feminine side as much as their Mom's do.

Sad Marvin Partners with Local Site to Deliver Fresh and Cheap Content http://www.sadmarvin.com by Filthy Rich We know how it is when you wake up Tuesday morning with a brutal hangover, classes having been canceled or skipped, wallet having been emptied by burritos and PBR, but still having the strange early-20's energy that makes you want to get out of the house and do something even though you should probably do homework. That's where Cheap Thrills - Boston comes in. Rob, the founder of Cheap Thrills (Link here) and member of local rockers Muddy Rudder, prides himself on finding the coolest, most unique, and truly cheap (usually under $10) experiences that Boston has to offer in music, art, literature, film, and zombie's (whenever there's a zombie march, that is). Sad Marvin is partnering with Cheap Thrills - Boston to provide its fans with content from Rob's list of great stuff to do about town. After all, what's a Sad Marvin monthly-gig sandwich without the cheap meat, cheese, and veggies? We'll take the generic yellow mustard, please.
