The Mars Volta Offshoot Zechs Marquise Hitting the Road

.
(PR) Days after playing the Bonnaroo festival in The Mars Volta alongside his brother Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, multi-instrumentalist Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez will hit the road once again. This time he joins another of his siblings, bassist Marfred Rodriguez-Lopez in their prog-rock groove outfit Zechs Marquise.

While sharing The Mars Volta's penchant for expansive passages, Zechs Marquise takes a hazier, psych-laden approach to its songs, as evident on its 15-track debut album Our Delicate Stranded Nightmare to be released Fall 2009 via Rodriguez Lopez Productions

The El Paso, TX based quartet brings its heaving sounds to the east coast in July, opening for the album release tour of like-minded groove-tech band RX Bandits. See complete dates below.
