- Marta Pacek Live on Singha Beer Garden Stage at
5pm 2nd March 2008
- Since moving to Melbourne, from her hometown of
Canberra, Marta has collaborated with local Melbourne
musicians including Hunters & Collectors front man Mark
Seymour and is about to release her debut EP produced by
Cameron McKenzie
As a solo artist as well as playing with her full band,
Marta has played the Victorian live circuit scene for 5
years before she now sets her sights on the Canadian Market
in late September 07 Marta Pacek's sound is reminiscent of
the 60’s San Francisco scene when poetry was rampant. Her
music is narrative and thought provoking, and Marta
admittedly uses her songs to express issues often difficult
to touch on in everyday encounters with people.
Her tales are dark & often intense, once blended with Mitch
Power's haunting harmonies and sweet lead guitar picking,
and Andrea Paradiso’s dramatic but sensitive classic
percussion style.
Marta's voice is versatile often changing to suit her
mood at the time of writing & has often been likened to the
voices of Stevie Nicks, Natalie Merchant, Eddie Brickell,
Ricky Lee Jones & Joni Mitchell.
Marta’s evocative Ballad about leaving home ‘Isabella’ is
currently being featured on ABC Radio’s Oz Tracks Site and
will soon become part of the ABC Jukebox of all Contemporary
Australian Music.
Marta was a semi- Finalist in the 3PBS Festival of Song
Competition with the Tracks ‘Loving is Easy’, ‘Café
Sunshine’ and ‘Cold night’.

The
Megahorns, a group of 6 funk enthusiasts, was founded at
Melbourne High School in 2006. The band moved through
several lineups before becoming the street-ready brass band
it is today.
