SXSW 2025: Maruja

Paste announced their day parties today. They're at High Noon again but it looks like they won't be across the street this year (Stay Gold closed last year). No times or days announced but they released the bands scheduled to perform.

This band is also playing the British Music Embassy (evening only) and the Marshall Amps day party at Mohawk on Wednesday. According to Wikipedia:

Maruja are an English rock band formed in Manchester in 2014, currently signed to Music for Nations... The band's sound has been variously labelled as post-rock, post-punk, art rock, jazz-rock, noise rock and post-hardcore. Rishi Shah of NME described the band's style as "noisy jazz-punk".

"Tinker" is a jazz-infused instrumental jam. Lots of sax solos.

Here they are live at Glasonbury.  We'll need to get ready for the mosh pit.

I'll go grab a coffee down the street while they are playing.
