is a Denver‑based funk rock band driven by groove, grit, and raw emotion. Their sound lives in the tension between tight, infectious funk and exploding rock energy—music that demands movement and hits straight to the core. Sung in Spanish and English, their songs cut across cultures with honesty and fire. The band is led by Einhar Herrera, whose vocals carry both intensity and soul. Sean McIntyre lays down relentless rhythm guitar, Yannek Smith tears through lead lines with urgency, Chris Waltermire locks in deep, swaggering basslines, and Jacob Sandi drives it all with powerful, unshakable drums. Together, they move as one—loud, synced, and alive. Marzo Veinte is about feel over polish, sweat over comfort, and connection over perfection. Every show is built on rhythm, release, and the charge that only live music can deliver. Find Marzo Veinte on Instagram, Spotify, and all major music platforms.

Strap in and get ready to dance, weep, and howl to Mr Knobs’ own mystical brand of electronic prog pop.
