89.3 The Current presents MARK MALLMAN CD Release Show
MARK MALLMAN
While media outlets from Pitchfork, LA Weekly, and Public Radio International have herald Mallman as the second coming of arena rock, this leather booted songwriter remains a man out of time, by his own unabashed design. Mallman’s songs have been featured on This American Life, MTV, the Oxygen Network, and most recently as the theme song to The Bank of New York Mellon.
Known to fans as Mr. Serious, his live performances are an unforgettable experience; approaching the keyboard like an electric guitar, lyrics like an existentialist writer, and the stage like a circus performer. In recent years, he’s has toured across America opening for such diverse acts as Guided by Voices, Cat Power, Donovan, Tegan and Sara, Exene Cervenka, and Chuck Prophet amongst many others.
As the front man for Kindercore records newest electronic act, Ruby Isle – or composer for major motion picture trailers such as Wall-E, 10000bc, and Vacancy - or film columnist for a Minneapolis weekly newspaper, Mark Mallman has accomplished more creatively than most artists twice his age.
