David of Houston Calling did an interview with Manda of Manda and the Marbles to preview their show in Houston on September 1 with meoWcifer at Mary Jane’s Fat Cats club. If you live in the Houston area, please be sure to go support not only great local rock BUT also a Donewaiting Columbus favorite, Manda and the Marbles.
Here’s a sneak preview of what you’ll be able to read tomorrow:
What do consider to be your musical influences?
My musical influences vary widely–I have multiple personalities when it comes to music. I grew up listening to Duran Duran, the Eurythmics, the Bangles,
and Sinead O’Connor. Then I went through a Guns and Roses phase, which was followed by a Cure, NIN, Helmet, Fugazi phase. Then I started to get into Jane’s Addiction, Mazzy Star, Jesus and the Mary Chain, and Hole. So it’s all over the map I guess! And I still enjoy listening to all of that music. But recently I have been listening to bands like Missing Persons, 999, and Suburban Lawns.
And now you see why we love Manda!
