close About Me

Me, Myself, and I
The Marsmen were formed in June 2008 and are based on the Scottish Borders. At present we are performing a wide range of covers to get ourselves known in the local venues. Songs by such artistes as Bowie, Del Amitri, The Stones, Kasier Chiefs, Travis, Razorlight, The Cure, Duran Duran, Radiohead, Johnny Cash, Gorillaz, The Eagles, Feeder, Eagle Eye Cherry and The Arctic Monkeys are covered. Hopefully there is something for everyone.

In the past we used the standard electric guitar through a 4x12 stack and a double bass drum kit with a rack of cymbals and a bass player pumping out loads of bottom end. Now we use a semi-acoustic guitar, a full electronic drum kit and both sing to the best of our abilities. The sound is still pretty full on so please come and check us out.

  • Whats Happening To The Marsmen?

    At last the summer season would appear to have started. The sun has been out and people have accepted the fact theres gonna be a bit of a recession but life still carrys on. We are back rehearsing once again and getting ready to rock out at a few gigs next month. As usual we are working on a few requests whilst continuing to strive to improve our overall sound. Checkout our own new website www.marsmen.co.uk which will be updated shortly to contain more information regards MARSMEN.

  • The Best Saturday Venue is The Thatch

    Once again The Thatch turns up trumps. We were a little worried it might be a quiet night but The Thatch rose to the occasion once again. It is definately the best Saturday gig in the local area and a great crowd. Many thanks to all the regulars who turned up and showed their support. We think you know the songs we perform better than we do, judging by the requests shouted out. Singing, dancing, you do it so well! Hey, the reserve footy team won, just gotta get the first team to do the same...Maybe "The Marsmen" should come and cheer you on like you do for us. Keef, who's Maggie? May we say well done ya crooner. Net, having my sweaty brow mopped whilst doing a drum solo was a first. Tackling a drummer mid solo is very brave manouver, many thanks. Requests, Pretty Woman, Status Quo? I think they are still touring, and bloody Sex On Fire ahhhhhhhhh............See ya all soon Bernie & Jon.
