Messy Marvin: a different kind of rock and roll cover band.
On lead vocals, John Kush. Animated. Interactive. Expressive.
On the guitar, Chris Ligenza. Rhythmic. Interpretive. Intense.
On bass, Mike Overmann. Musical. Melodic. Solid.
On the drums, Mike Tucker. Schooled. Tight. Jazzy.
Started early ‘08 in the Chicagoland area. Playing covers of great rock and roll songs from the past four decades. Some classics. Some obscure. All memorable.
You’ve heard of the “we play anything” format? Well, we play everything! From Bread to Judas Priest. From Wildfire to Lose Yourself.
LOUD. FUN. ROCK.
The band has been asked back to each venue it’s played; and fun has been had by all who’ve seen ‘em.
Extensive, loyal fan base. Communications sent through triple-digit e-mailing list.
