In servitude of bubblegum-pop-art-metal delirium we have the stunning Marnie Stern coming all the way from the U.S. of A. for the first time this OCTOBER. As her 2010 self-titled album (Kill Rock Stars) shows, what makes Stern better than other guitar wizards is her uncanny ability to somehow transform the most complicated guitar acrobatics into beautiful, concise pop. Man can she shred!
Clearly, Marnie Stern's life and music are not easily separated, which is why Stern the record and Stern the person have REAL personality. Upon listening to her three full-length albums or seeing her perform live, it's quite evident that the New Yorker lives in between the lines of chaos and harmony. While Stern's previous efforts garnered much critical acclaim, highlighting her dexterity with both guitar playing and songwriting, she still remains the underdog of contemporary celebrated female musicians
