Macrosick

“They appear to be highly funded…” -(misinformed) New Orleans music critic “They seem like a bunch of result-oriented poseurs to me…” - local New Orleans artist For the past three years, MACROSICK have incited these comments and others like them with their brash, unself-depricating approach to handling a scene. “I’m trying to romance you…taste the truth AND swallow the fiction, then you’ll begin to know us!” claims band patriarch Adam LaClave (also known on the street as ChuckFamous). Drawing upon their love for the indestructible sound of Bowie, Kraftwerk, Iggy, and other 70’s/early 80’s icons, MACROSICK music works within a notably experimental yet focused mode of sound and thought. Driven by raw soul, yet angular enough to never really be smooth, the music is based on hook and pulse. Songs are built on the combination of diagrams lain out by drums and bass, and then rigged out in vicious melodies and abstractions of the guitar, keys, and whatever else finds it’s way in. The idea is a centered, yet un-hinged excess of stimuli. See a building imploded. Then look as the ashes are used to construct something new. This is the creative and existent continuum of MACROSICK. Taken from the remains of a previous creative venture, MACROSICK was born to house the very intentionally ostentatious schemes of lead singer, Adam LaClave. If the sound of MACROSICK is “art-rock” then the live show would best be described as taking an original Warhol and running it through a giant shredder, then taking the shredded pieces and raining them as confetti on a crowd of unsuspecting modern art lovers. Sometimes the social interpreter, always the provocateur, MACROSICK is not necessarily looking for friends with their approach. Listen to glass breaking in the night. Watch as the authorities are called and tapes replayed. A first encounter with MACROSICK is the moment in between fear, anger, and response.
