ctrl LIVE: Maruja

Manchester-based psychedelic jazz-punks Maruja, known for their electrifying live shows, will perform for the first time in Bucharest at the end of this year – December 16 at Control Club.

Tickets are now available via Eventbook.

Artists in the truest sense of the word, Maruja’s ferocious combination of punk, harsh noise, and transcendent cosmic jazz is fast marking them out as one of the most exciting new acts in the UK. The years spent relentlessly honing their craft are paying off in style, driven not just by passion but rather an all-consuming need to create and perform with a visceral intensity, they are both electrifying and terrifying.

Their breathtaking live show has seen the band selling out Supersonic in Paris, The Temple in Athens, Camden’s Underworld and an entire UK tour.

Maruja’s debut EP Knocknarea ended last year as the No.1 rated EP on RateYourMusic, whilst Anthony Fantano included the release in his 2023 Top 3 EPs.

Recent EP Connla’s Well is a 5 track collection and the definition of a body of work. Lead single Invisible Man garnered support from 6 music, with both a playlist and Maida Vale session. The Limited Edition EP of 500 copies sold out in under 24 hours.

“Killer from front to back and I can’t wait for these guys to get into album mode…it’s going to be incredible” – Anthony Fantano

“Will leave listeners breathless but begging for more” – DIY Magazine
