Live Music! Marxman
Peck Slip Social235 Front Street, New York 10038
Peck Slip Social’s Live Music! Marxman bill appears to be a performance by the New York rapper The MarXman, rather than the similarly named Irish-English group from the 1990s. The available event information does not say whether The MarXman will perform alone or with a band, nor does it identify a particular project, guest, release, tribute, or other special focus for the set. Expect a live presentation from an MC whose work is tagged hip-hop/rap, indie rap and poetry.
The MarXman is identified on Bandcamp simply as “The MarXman. New York.” A separate event listing, though not for this Peck Slip Social date, describes an appearance by “MC the MarXman w/ his band,” built around stories, jokes and the artist’s own hip-hop style. Bandcamp credits The MarXman’s Days of Future Past with collaborations from King Chung and Sheena O. Murray. One reviewer wrote that “The hip-hop duo marry poetic bars and enthusiastic production,” while another listener praised its “stellar” songs and said their melodies were “ringing in my head.”
Peck Slip Social is a basement club tucked into the Seaport District where music takes center stage in a room with a stage, a bar, and a few tables. Shows run from 7 PM to 10 PM, with the audience seated at small tables or standing near the stage. The bar is open for drinks before and after the performance, and the room is intimate enough that you can hear the band clearly from the back. It's a place where people come to listen, talk, and enjoy a night out with friends. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a mix of genres from jazz to rock. The venue has a history of hosting live music and continues to operate at its original location.
