Ryan's Rock Show Best 11 of 2011 - Getting Paid
07. Zechs Marquise Getting Paid (Sargent House/Rodriguez Lopez)
Out of all the instrumental bands that released albums this year, Zechs Marquise is our favorite. We watched them tear strippers a new hole at a gentleman’s club in L.A. months back, and have had Getting Paid blaring through our gramophone ever since. Simply put, Zechs Marquise is “Crushin’ It!.”

Zechs Marquise live clip of Mega Slap from the album Getting Paid.
“Speaking of artists this very column might have hipped you to, Zechs Marquise is mainly known for their connection with the weird and wonderful world of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, of The Mars Volta fame. ZM is chiefly occupied by Omar’s brothers, and Getting Paid‘s punchy, powerful mix of jazz fusion, progressive rock, ’70s...

Zechs Marquise make Remezcla's top 25 Tracks of...
Our original Best Songs of 2011 list was over twice as long and we wish to include them all, but twenty-five is the number, folks, and not all are suited for the Best of 2011 title. These below were the ones that were set on repeat in our heads, we bonded to, we celebrated and got piss drunk, made us laugh, made us cry and made us fall in love.

Verbicide Review: Getting Paid
In the Rodriguez-Lopez family, musical talent is a strong and vibrant trait. Zechs Marquise’s Malfred and Marcel Rodriquez-Lopez are the younger brothers of The Mars Volta guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. It appears that the influence of their older brother’s work with Cedric Bixler-Zavala and The Mars Volta have had a large affect on their own musical aspirations and style, especially...

Dirty Impound New Artists To Notice: Zechs...
Getting Paid (released September 27) is a work best enjoyed dressed in a velvet suit whilst sucking down whippets on a round sofa as monkey butlers peel grapes and mix cocktails. At least that’s the sort of strange scenes from the gold mine that shake loose inside one’s mind while the second album from Zechs Marquise spins. This beatifically bug-fuck album dips into early 70s Miles Davis...

…Zechs Marquise is like the Japanese anime character they are named after: unpredictable and unrelenting in their lightning-fast transitions between funked-out interludes and psychedelic rock passages. Rodriguez-Lopez brothers...

Entrevista II Puerto Rico Indie: Interview...
Dos cosas que hay que superar al escuchar inicialmente sobre Zechs Marquise: la pronunciación de su nombre (digamos que “sex markís” se aproxima lo suficiente; nombre compartido con un popular personaje de la serie de animé Mobile Suit Gundam Wing) y el parentesco con una figura muy influyente y respetada dentro del rock alternativo e independiente.
¿Listos?

Riverfront Times Show Pick for 12/6 In St. Louis :...
Let’s get the name-drops out of the way: 60 percent of El Paso, Texas, outfit Zechs Marquise’s members are younger brothers of the Mars Volta guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, and the group releases its music on Rodriguez Lopez Productions via affiliate label Sargent House. Like the Mars Volta, the band is mostly instrumental and exists in the space between prog and punk....

Zechs Marquise = The Mars Volta + Cougar + RJD2
You will one day—perhaps, in your dreams—see the most badass, most ballingest, stylish, hardcore, potent piece of gangster movie ever sucked through someone’s eyeballs, and then as the credits roll, under “Soundtrack,” you will see the name Zechs Marquise. Though it’s not the warrior from Gundam Wing, but rather a reference to him, the...
