About

On their riveting and keenly-anticipated fourth album, Leaving Wonderland... in a fit of rage, Marcy Playground returned to action in triumphant fashion. Armed with songs born of an intense and turbulent period in his life, MP's main man, singer/guitarist John Wozniak, has fashioned a record that digs deep, taking the listener on an exhilarating and satisfying emotional and musical rollercoaster ride. Its creator is justifiably proud of his accomplishment, calling it "by far the best thing I've ever done. This is the most personal record I've ever made, and I think it's the thing that will connect most with other people.

    Marcy Playground New York City

    by DeadlyHandsomeMan on 9/29/09B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New York

    For a long-devoted Marcy fan like myself it was great to finally see them live. Good song selection with about half from the new album. I expected a bigger crowd but glad not to have to fight my way towards the stage. The sound quality was average for guitars. Cover of Cohen's "Hallelujah" was surprisingly very good. The obligatory "Sex and Candy" was uninspired and the low point which was just fine with me. I'd have to say the musicianship, specifically the drumming was the best part of the live experience. I'd love to see Marcy again and again. Honestly, Jimmie's Chicken Shack played a much better show and earned themselves a new fan last night.

    Great Show

    by classictull on 9/28/09Starland Ballroom - Sayreville

    The Starland Ballroom is a great place to see any type of show. That being said....Marcy Playground was a great show. Supported by other bands I have never heard of, but they all performed well. The Playground was sharp and professional. Good set list to please the crowd of all ages that attended. Well done guys and thanks.

    Great time, great music

    by MyNameIsNowDave on 9/28/09Starland Ballroom - Sayreville

    From the opening band this promised to be a night of talent and some good, legimitate (old-school) alternative rock. I'd never heard Jimmie's Chicken Shack before but they definitely deserved their spot. Nine Days wins the prize for crowd interaction while Marcy Playground was rocking their new sound and staying relevant all these years after they started (anyone remember Zog Bogbean? They rocked Rebel Sodville to pieces).

    Marcy is better then ever!

    by timmyhac on 9/17/098 Seconds Saloon - Indianapolis

    John Wozniak was great! He is a natural performer and a great song writer. Dylan Keefe rocked the bass as usual, he is a great player and a nice person to talk to. Shlomi Lavie was jamming the drums. He is a solid drummer and very funny. Overall a great show, I would recommend anyone who just loves great music and having a good time go see Marcy Playground you will not be disappointed!

    Marcy Playground = Perfection

    by Mixedupman on 9/12/098 Seconds Saloon - Indianapolis

    I have been to tons of concerts in my life time. Some really amazing ones, that i felt could never be topped. I did not realize that every concert i had been to was about to be blown away when i walked into the 8 Second saloon. I have loved Marcy Playground since their first album, but had never had the chance to see them live. From the 2 opening bands that performed very well to the incredible show Marcy playground put on this was the perfect show.

    Marcy Playground was Beyond Amazing!

    by Pozslady on 9/4/09Viper Room - West Hollywood

    Small venue, hot summer night and amazing music. Jon Wozniak and the band sounded great, not missing a beat and had the crowd rocking all night.

    for awsome

    by spatrin on 8/28/09Fine Line Music Cafe - Minneapolis

    The fine line is a great place to see bands because you can get right up in the action or hang out on the balconny and watch from above. And there wings were delicious. As far as the opening band Taking Seconds goes they were a good opener for Marcy Playground. They were entertaining and there music was good too (even though I've never head of them.) Now for the greatest band on earth Marcy Playground was, for sweet! They sound just like on there albam and they have so much energy. I bought a 73$ ticket to watch form the balconny but instead I went down to the 13$ floor spot and watch the whole thing from there. And the band memders weren't shy before or after they got on stage I had a chance to talk to the singer/guitarist Jon and bass player Dillen and they gave me there autographs and they were really cool people. I had the best night of my life!!!!! Hands down.
