No surprise here, since two exciting New York-based bands were about to perform at the longstanding Lower East Side venue. First up were **[Mayve](https://www.facebook.com/mayvemusic/)**, a pop rock trio from Long Island, who were part of last year’s December [glamglare party](https://wp.glamglare.com/music/2018/01/27/photos-glamglare-presents-mayve-centaurus-jenny-judge-ariah-marie-lang-the-delancey/?ref=glamglare.com). Mayve know how to create catchy pop-songs and got the audience going. When **Sarik Kumar** and his [**Mars Motel**](https://www.marsmotelmusic.com/?ref=glamglare.com) band mates took the stage, they had their fans on their finger tips. **Wes Wynne** on guitar, **Justin Lieberthal** on bass and **Craig Stauber** on drums were ready to entertain and to play a full one hour set, which emerging acts so rarely get the opportunity to do – or not all have enough material that they can perform in high form for over one hour. Not a problem for Mars Motel! Sarik and Wes seem to feed from each others guitar playing energy and together with their mates create moments of incredible dream rock bliss. Highlights of a Mars Motel show are the enigmatic “The Enemy” and the epic “America The Machine”. Mars Motel’s charismatic frontman used to hone his craft as the lead guitarist in dream-pop trio [Twin Wave](http://twinwavesounds.com/?ref=glamglare.com) and goes now slightly rockier yet still melodic ways with Mars Motel. No two Mars Motel shows are alike because this is indie rock alive and kicking!
