Empire Day

A three piece band hailing from outside of Chicago, IL. We strive to create a listening experience like no other! With the founding members writing and recording for over 10 years together, and the collaborators on this long journey, have claimed a niche on the popular music front, without loosing their underground roots. Marvin, the Vocal clown, with his powerfully poetic lyrics, and trance like voice. Has been involved in singing since a young boy, inspired by his mothers talent. Rich, our guitarist extraordinaire, with his eclectic taste in music, and solid playing. Has been touched by music since his birth, inspired by the art of reality, with a background in percussion, strings, and chorus. Eric, our Beethoven, with his ability to write, and sequence the back bone of our music, Has been touched my music since the dawn of time, starting at an early age with a variety of instruments from woodwinds, reeds, brass and percussion.

Our live show is an all original music show, with the occasional obscure �cover� tune thrown in for extra entertainment value. Although the music can only be described as modern Rock, there are hints of so many styles; from British Pop and, classical! to Dark Alternative, and blues! The Stage show is theatrical, with the use of lighting and props when space is available.

With the energy and emotion of Hard Rock, and the spirituality of Goth, this band is a pleasure to see and hear! This creates an atmosphere, that music fans of all genres will enjoy. Re-named in 1997, as Empire Day; We have created the right mixture of pop/rock/alternative to fill the void in this new millennium!
