    Live Lunch Break Flashback - Marvelous Liars

    The Marvelous Liars perform in The Day's "Live Lunch Break" series.

    There's no reason to be hard on yourself if you missed "Live Lunch Break." For one thing, it's Thanksgiving week and a lot's happening. For another, because of the holiday, we ran it at a special time - at noon on Wednesday. But it WAS a great performance from Marvelous Liars, the new band featuring singer/songwriter/guitarist Nicholas Johns (ex-Gone For Good), bassist Eric Riotte and drummer Shane O'Connell. The best possible news? We archive all of our "Live Lunch Break" interviews and performances at theday.com. So log on and enjoy the episode, wherein you'll learn such things as:

    • How Johns outwits himself, now and again, by throwing so many chords into a song that he can't figure out how to sing over them.

    • How real life experiences - the premature death of a friend, marriage, the acquisition of an actual home - have flavored Johns' approach to lyrical topics.

    • Yes, the Liars are essentially performing, in toto, what will be their debut album, tentatively scheduled to appear in early 2015.
