Parklücke Festival: Meagre Martin | Support: Still Sane

In the organizer's words:

The Berlin-based band Meagre Martin, which originally started as a solo project, was founded in the summer of 2021 by African-American musician and songwriter Sarah Martin (guitar, she/her). Federico "Freddy" Corazzini (drums, he/him) and Max Hirtz-Wolf (bass, he/him) joined shortly afterwards.

Meagre Martin combines elements of lo-fi and New Americana - a musical fusion that is based on experience and seeks healing. Her lyrics lend new dimensions to nostalgia and turn grief into a source of strength. The debut album "GUT PUNCH" (released in November 2023 via Mansions and Millions) creates a sound inspired by shoegaze, 90s indie and - as the band themselves call it - "faux country". The gentle soundscapes contrast with the vulnerable, profound lyrics, which reveal great emotional depth behind the sweet surface.

The single "Malcolm", released in March 2024, addresses financial insecurity and the vivid reality of the American middle class. Inspired by the series "Malcolm in the Middle", the song reflects the journey from generational trauma to liberation.

The latest single "Never Thought" (released in September 2024) questions how well we really know the people in our lives - and how even years later our security in them can still be shaken. The chords and melodies circle and repeat - just like the thoughts that constantly circle in our heads.
