On a night charged with energy and sonic experimentation, MARVIN took over the legendary KOKO in London for the first ever MARVIN LIVE event, a VAST x Robomagic Production.
An event co-hosted by Marvin Scott Jarrett and YUNGBLUD, the cover star of our British Invasion issue, it was an unforgettable night. Not only was it a cultural statement, but also a celebration of music.
To kick off the evening, The Florentenes set the tone with their genre-blurring sound and magnetic stage presence. They were followed by the shadowy allure of The Dead Writers, whose brooding set gave the crowd a taste of noir-tinged alt rock at its most immersive.
