Bio:
Sprung
from the littered alleyways of South Minneapolis, Southside
Desire make original music influenced, but not limited by, vintage soul,
R&B and power-pop. Marvel Devitt recorded a cappela demos on her phone
and sent them to local musician friends and family. In March of 2012,
she assembled a rhythm section of Minneapolis indie scene vets (including her
husband Trevor Engelbrektson) and a set of gifted backup singers.
Marvel's detailed lyrics are simultaneously
personal, insightful, funny and poetic. She is supported by
meticulously-crafted harmonies and an expressive and tight rhythm
section inspired equally by Stax and SST.
