Makar is a unique indie pop rock band that makes poets and punks rejoice and dance together. We've played all over New York at clubs big and small (CBGB's, Pianos, Knitting Factory, Luna Lounge, Freddy's Backroom, Galapagos) and never left without everyone loving our show. Even the sound guys say "pure talent." Our lyrics touch on a variety of topics from love to social issues and everything in between. There's no one like Makar, and Makar is like no one. We're melodic and radio-friendly, having been played all over the world. Our inspiration ranges from the Beatles to The Velvet Underground to the late great Bowie, to Sharon Van Etten and Grizzly Bear, and many in between. Makar's second album, Funeral Genius, was called "essential" by Rust Magazine. It recently got us featured in M Pire magazine, interviewed in Vents, No Depression, and Independent Artist Buzz, and earned us a top 10 spot on The Deli Magazine's Top 300 Best NYC Bands along with Vampire Weekend, Fun., MGMT, and Santigold.
