Friday, June 11: Marcy Playground

The Royal Lounge

You're probably familiar with the Marcy Playground story - or at least the band's hit "Sex and Candy."  The song came from Marcy Playground's platinum-selling, self-titled, major label debut, released by Capitol Records in '97 and highlighted by a grunge-stained take on folk rock and the occasional children's rhyme.  As you may recall, "Sex and Candy" spent 15 weeks atop Billboard's "Modern Rock" chart.  Friday, Marcy Playground will play the Royal Lounge in Olympia, where most of the preceding will matter very little.
