Hello cherished listeners, fans and interested people! Its great that you are hear...
So what would you like to know about this groundbreaking london Rock Outfit?
Well we believe that, next to jazz, Rock is the widest genre there is and one that allows us to pull all our wide influences together and produce them coherently. We value interesting meaningful music and above all, great songs.
The album - Synesthesia - is PRODUCED by FRANCIS ROSSI and GREGG JACKMAN. In case you were wondering how its done, you kind of Unleash a shy celtic girl with Operatic vocals against a wild colourful rock background. Hold together with tight songs, allow space for musicians to go wherever they want and you get MACARA. Engage mind, body and soul for best experience.
Formed in early 2005, the formula for putting this together kind of goes like this......
How To Make MACARA =
One part shy celtic girl with opera/classical vocal training, a devilish dark side and heavenly light side, great songwriting skills and a love for all music. (LAURA MACARA) One part voodoo guitar guy from the tropics with odd take on the world, bit of a guitar geek,and loves to write a good song. (BOANECKER ILLY) Three parts some of londons finest young multi-instrumentalists. Core Talents must include : Very Solid Guitarist with bat-like ears,(ANDY BROOK) Damn Strong Bassist, with gigantic musical biceps(PAUL SUMPTER Flavourful Drummer to make your mouth water.(LEON CAVE)
We live to play live. Thank god that todays market favours the live musician because if we couldnt do it we would be out.We love it.
We have played some amazing shows and for us and our fans they create a feeling that you just cant get anywhere else. Amongst the highlights are Hammersmith Apollo London (and all dates on REO support tour), our slot at Holkham hall National Trust gig in front of 7000 people!..oh and of course our impromptu concert to South londons biggest Dogging car park...but we'll tell you more about that when we meet you....
