No Woman No-Fi



Who doesn't love No-Fi Soul Rebellion? Maybe the dudes that don't like getting coerced into the electric slide by a sweaty screaming man? Maybe the girls who don't like getting hauled onto the dance floor to strap on a guitar for a sweet solo?

I've had the pleasure of playing with and/or seeing No-Fi quite a few times over the years, and every single time I've seen them play I've left fully satisfied. Mark is outgoing and hilarious, Andrea coy and subtle. Quite the duo.

A few of my favorite No-Fi (mark) moments.
  • Mark gets a bunch of kids to sit on the floor of the Detour and sing rhythm section for "Just What I Needed."
  • Mark takes a slice of pizza from someone (at the same Detour show), wipes it on his face like a towel, and gives it back to them.
  • The numerous times I have seen beer dumped on Mark and/or Mark dumps beer on himself, with full enthusiasm.
  • Mark at the B-Side during Hoopfest weekend runs outside to a closed off empty street, screaming at the top of his lungs.
  • Mark's screaming bass solos. Wasn't there some Mozart in there?
No-Fi plays Friday 8/29 at the Zombie Room with the Makers and Pour Soi.
