| Malachi Constant
Malachi Constant hails from Saint Paul, Minnesota. Early comparisons to their music has been made to Sonic Youth, Trans Am, Bundy K. Brown, and other such luminaries. However, with “Pride” MC seems to have dropped out of guitar school and moved onto a more prescient challenge, experimenting with a more ambitious formulization. Their playful approach to performance is ever present, and “Pride” blends the band’s tearing-riff-antics with a fresh vocal expression. Its not electronic music, its not indie rock, and its not post-punk yet it combines elements of all three for a blend uniquely Malachi Constant.
The band’s 3rd full-length release, entitled “Pride” heeds their 8th year together as music-mates. Sadly, this achievement also marks the end of an era for drummer Alex McCown. As Alex begins his pursuit of life’s most critical theories, Superhopper drummer, Nick Shuminsky has fluently followed his beaten path.
Since the release of their previous album “Infinite Justice”, Malachi Constant has performed with a variety of notable musicians including Brother Ali, Thunderbirds are Now!, Enon, The Plastic Constellations, Hockey Night, Outhud, Menomena and P.O.S. They continue as a staple headliner in Twin Cities venues.
