 More Seduction (Manda and the Marbles)
Manda and the Marbles are an awesome band that is even better live than they are on this cd, and that's very hard to believe.
The amazing Manda and the Marbles are a female fronted power pop band, kinda like Molly Ringwald, Joan Jett and Jessica Rabbit rolled into one.
Manda and The Marbles is my new favorite band.

 riverfronttimes.com Music Manda & the Marbles 2004-07-14
The Marbles' hooks are sweeter and catchier than their male-fronted counterparts' machismo allows, and it's nice to see a pop-rock band leave the '60s out of their system.
It would be unfair to label Manda & the Marbles a Go-Go's clone: For one thing, two of the members are dudes, so obviously some mutation is going on here.
Another, more recent relative of the band would be the Donnas, who hit it big recently with their Joan Jett gene carrying retro rock.

 Playback St. Louis Review - Manda and the Marbles
Opening for Manda and the Marbles were the Dead Celebrities, a local punk band that brings lively sets to the clubs they play.
When the three-piece known as Manda and the Marbles hit the stage, all they brought were guitars, bass, and drums, but it felt more like an assault with machine guns.
The energy of the band could be felt right away, especially from Manda, as she played her bass and still managed to use the microphone stand as a prop when she sang.

 Manda and the Marbles: More Seduction Aversion.com Review
Recent example: Manda and the Marbles is the kind of band that skateboard-riding kids think they are listening to when they soak up Avril Lavigne.

Manda and the Marbles aren’t doing anything dozens of other power-pop acts couldn’t do, but isn’t that the point?

 Manda and the Marbles
That cry is straight from the diaphram and vocal chords of one Manda Marble and her rag-tag group of misfits, vagabonds, and sound-pirates known by the simple yet powerful nomenclature of "The Marbles"
Although the members of the band came from humble backgrounds they have managed to throw a sonic assault at the world, bursting apart the foundations of complacency, laying waste to the concrete of boredom, and ransacking the rebar of normalcy.
With only a guitar, bass, drums and a keyboard they have managed to redefine Western Civilization and have forced us all to review our very idea of a what a "band" can be.

 Punknews.org Manda And The Marbles - Angels With Dirty Faces
However, perhaps it's for the best that the Marbles stay their current course, as songs like the closing "Let Them Talk" show the band is at its best with one foot in their punk/new wave roots.
Manda also keeps things decidedly positive, and with the strength of the band behind her it feels like an opportunity was missed for a few more muscular, provocative songs.
The Marbles really hit their stride on nuggets like "Say Anything" and "Confidential." Manda's soaring vocals fit perfectly atop Joe Damage's buzzsaw guitarwork while new keyboardist Elias Dubok helps cement all the 80's new wave comparisons the Marbles are met with.

 Manda and the Marbles: Shy Loudmouth (2005)
Thank Mark Slak for those: Marble says that her drummer, who’s a fan of “Seventies punk hardcore stuff that I can’t even listen to,” is the one who brought the songs to the attention of the band, while Damage is the resident ’80s metalhead.
As for her own tastes, Marble admits, “I’ve been getting into, oddly enough, jazz and big band stuff, which is nothing like what we play, of course."
“I’m actually kind of a shy person,” says Marble, who admits to a small degree of stagefright resulting from the piano recitals of her childhood (before she was, to the dismay of her parents and her piano teacher, ruined by rock ‘n’ roll just like so many before her).

 Principles - Some semiconductor physics - Band structure
Electrons in the full valence band cannot move - just as, for example, marbles in a full box with a lid on top.
The electrons in the conduction band are mobile, and the crystal becomes a conductor.
Four of the five outer electrons are used to fill the valence band and the one extra electron from each impurity atom is therefore promoted to the conduction band.

Electrons in the full valence band cannot move - just as, for example, marbles in a full box with a lid on top.
The next higher band is the conduction band which is separated from the valence band by the energy gap, or bandgap.
Four of the five outer electrons are used to fill the valence band and the one extra electron from each impurity atom is therefore promoted to the conduction band.

I wanted to start by telling you that Transatlantic is my absolute favorite band of all-time and I’ve gotten a chance to speak to Roine and Neal and this is quite a treat to get a chance to speak to you as well.
JT: You just came out with a brand-new album with Kino, but right before that you came out with an album with Marillion called Marbles, which is a pretty big release.
We had to watch about, he’s got a lovely parquet-wooden floor in his living room and we had to be very careful of not scratching it and we were lugging equipment in, flight cases and stuff, so it was a strange way to record an album, but a lot of fun.

The column consists of 19 blocks of marble with a helicoidal band of figures spiraling up it, documenting the Dacian War of Emperor Trajan.On this column we see the bridges Trajan built, the forts he attacked, the camps he destroyed, and the enemy he put to flight.
There were rooms for cold, hot and warm baths, splendid ceilings, porticoes, pillared halls, gymnasiums, where the rarest marbles, the most colossal columns, and the finest statues were admired by the people; even the baths were of basalt, granite, alabaster.
It is surmounted by the Villa Farnese, which, with its many gardens and staircases, covers much of the hill, and hence a good deal of the architectural remains of the Roman age.

Free of the constricting release schedule of a major label, the country's best-loved band let loose their fifth studio album just 18 months after the last.
Titles like "Marbles" and "Press a Key" drive the point home--these are the kind of tunes you'd find in a Kinder Surprise egg (actually, I'm gonna run with that, and toss out the term "kindertronica").
Like Navy Blues, Between the Bridges spans softer '60s pop stylings and harder '70s rock, but there's less overt referencing and a greater continuity between the four writers' tunes--perhaps because it's a subtle concepty thing about being in a band, being in a band from Halifax, and now being the elder Sloans.

Detto questo devo dire che ho incontrato una band maturata moltissimo, sicuramente uno dei due-tre nomi principali e più conosciuti della scena italiana, con un seguito di pubblico di tutto rispetto, eppure ancora capace di mantenere un’atmosfera e un approccio da concerto indie.
I Caroliner sono l'aggiornamento di un'ideale Magic Band di Captain Beefheart prodotta da Timothy Leary, benché abbiano mandato definitivamente in pensione il concetto tradizionale di "psichedelia".
Quindi una band che non ha perso lo spirito indie, cupo, riumoristico e decadente; una band che guarda con rispetto e ammirazione alla migliore tradizione della forma canzone pop-rock; una band che ama raccontare storie e umori generazionali.

 Enon: Lost Marbles and Exploded Evidence - PopMatters Music Review
Only a month after signing the deal, Brainiac's charismatic lead singer, Tim Taylor, died in a car accident, bringing a halt to the career of one of the country's more promising bands.
After a couple of albums and a handful of singles and EPs, the band perfected its spastic, electro-noise rock on 1996's Hissing Prigs in Static Couture.
While she was responsible for the album's "hit" (the hypnotic, icy dance-pop of "In This City") Schmersal also raised his game with the mid-90s indie-throwback "Window Display" and the surprisingly pleasing lounge-schmaltz of the title track.

 JamBase ROUND TABLE ON ROUND ROOM
A-Dubs : Round Room, a name that suggests the cyclical nature of thought and the ever-evolving history of one of the scene's most experimental bands, has moments of greatness while falling short in equal amounts.
SuperDee : For me, Round Room really boils down to four stellar songs: "Pebbles and Marbles," "Seven Below," "Walls of the Cave," and "Waves." The way I listen to recorded Phish is to hear songs that have some sort of space in it for exploration and improvisation.
It is all just part of their evolution as a rock band that is doing things their own way.
