I wanted to write my own bio for them, but I can't do them justice, so I'll "borrow"
the one from the official website:
hey hey we're the marvies...
here's the story...
here's the story..."butch" plays guitar and sings pretty good. he writes kool songs.
"slug" is a good drummer. jayce is a good bass player. they know each other very well.
they grew up together. voted the "best rock band", and "hardest working band" by the
atlanta local music awards, two years in a row, and called the buzzband of the 1998
SXSW/ASCAP showcase, the marvelous 3 are playing to an established legion of
fans around the country right now, bringing their patented, thick, 'marvelous' sound
to the masses in massive, pop-rock doses. it took no time for all the major labels to
come scurrying along just to see what all the fuss was about. the marvies found a home
at Elektra records, and are currently gearing up for a major release in jan. 99! the
song "freak of the week", off the indie version of "Hey! Album" is tearing up radio
stations nationwide, before the album will even be on the shelves! the marvies pride
themselves on being the "reigning kings of middle-classs surbanite regulars", and would
like for everyone to know that they are not weird, bummed out, abused, depressed, or
apathetic loser, musician-types (sounds like a change of pace?). they are merely 3 guys
who would love a shot at beaming marilyn manson in the head with a spice girls cd, and
saying, "there... now didn't that make you laugh?". in fact, they want to "make lots of
money, and be on the cover of every magazine in existence". why? because the "think it
would be neat". the songs on the marvelous 3's debut cd "math and other problems" were
an earnest reflection of a heart gone to hell, and they rock indeed. the new '98 release,
"Hey! Album" is even better. it has a great title too. growing up on a hearty diet of
american bandstand, and saturday matinee make out sessions at the skating rink, the
manifest of the marvelous 3 is to be the biggest requested group, not only on the radio,
but at skating rinks all around the country. 3 guys. 1 skate pass....................
marvelous.
It's a wee bit outdated, but it serves the purpose.
