MARQUES TOLIVER: A LEGEND IN THE MAKING

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Good friend and super star violinist Marques Toliver ( playing my Accordion in our apartment on the left) has been making  killer headway with recent success in London and NYC. He was playing with Holly Miranda, former member of the Jealous Girlfriends (who we used to play with in Philly), and her band for a while but is now working on his own solo career and traveling back and forth between London and NYC to record and play various gigs. A recent review of Holly Miranda’s newest album can be seen at NME where there is a video, embedded below, of Holly and Marques playing a take away show with acclaimed filmmaker Vincent Moon . If you have ever seen the video of Arcade Fire playing in an elevator, that was all Vincent Moon and can be seen here . Also, if that is not enough, yours truly was also in one of Vincent Moon’s take away shows, featuring Noah & the Whale and can be seen here. I come in around 1:10. Marques and Holly video below:

Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #1 - (Tunnels)
Everything these guys write is great, and they just signed on to write the score to the new Spike Jonze flick ‘Where the Wild Things Are”.
