Marsheaux (pronounced mar-so) are a female synthpop duo from Thessaloniki, Greece. They moved in 2000 to Athens and in 2003 they started Marsheaux in order to express their love for the electropop of the 80’s. The problem of naming the band was easily solved by combining the first syllables of their names, Marianthi and Sophie. Their first release was a cover of the classic Hot Butter’s Popcorn with a great success in Greece. They make synthpop music in the tradition that The Human League, Depeche Mode, Yazoo and OMD did. Marianthi: Vocals, MicroKorg, Minimoog, Speak&Math, Roland SH101, YAMAHA CS01 Sophie: Vocals, Winston, Speak&Spell, MicroKorg, KORG MS 10, Roland aJuno2, AKAI Ax80, ROLAND CR78 Journalists described E-Bay Queen as: * The best synth pop album since Human League's Dare * The album that fisherspooner and Ladytron never did * Marsheaux's E-bay Queen has to do with the joy and carelessness of the most innocent memories a pop fan could have. Start counting: Anorak pop by Sarah's label. Martini mood by Saint Etienne and Lush. Vocals that sound like flirting by Dot Alison and Kate Moss... Synth motifs that embrace OMD's and Erasure's tradition. You get to hear all of the aforementioned and even more in a promising and cheery production. E-BAY QUEEN is pop in all its glory. Music to flirt to, shop to, write love notes to and dance to. Music to communicate to and to turn up on the radio. Music to smile to and wink to a stranger official site marsheaux space User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License and may also be available under the GNU FDL.
