Marnie Stern

It wasn’t until she was 23, when she heard Sleater-Kinney for the very first time, that Marnie Stern’s lifestyle begun to take her in direction of the sound- and punk-inspired experimental rock and roll that would afterwards define her music. She shortly started learning finger-tapping methods on her guitar and assiduously started practicing and documenting tracks until she got enough to get a demonstration. Stern sent the tape to Wipe out Rock Superstars, which immediately agreed upon the young vocalist/guitarist with their 5RC imprint. The folding of the business, following the departure of founder Slim Moon in 2006, triggered a slight hold off in the discharge of her debut, Before the Damaged Arm, however the record, whose tracks had been created over an interval greater than 2 yrs in Stern’s Top East Side NY apartment, and highlighted drums from Hella’s Zach Hill, finally arrived in early 2007. Stern got somewhat less time and energy to record her follow-up, launching THAT IS It and I Am It and you also Are It therefore IS THE FACT THAT and HE’S It in 2008. Her self-titled third record premiered by Kill Rock and roll Stars this year 2010. Hill ultimately left her support band, but will be changed by Oneida drummer Child Millions, who produced his first appearance on Stern’s looser and much more expansive fourth recording, The Chronicles of Marnia.
