Steve Marsh (TelepathiX, Miracle Room, Terminal Mind, Radarcave, Evil Triplet, Life Skills Deptartment, Wisdom Tooth) has been Austin, Texas' legendary noise and experimental noise maestro, recording and releasing sounds as well as being a visual and video artist, since the late 70s.
Marsh formed the seminal Austin punk band Terminal Mind in 1978, releasing a self-titled EP, having two songs included on the first Live At Raul’s LP, and opening for Iggy Pop at the Armadillo World Headquarters in 1980. He then was part of the electronic music collective Life On Earth, where he was introduced to and worked with God of Hellfire Arthur Brown. In 1986, he put together the psycho-industrial noise rock band Miracle Room, which moved to NYC in 1988. They released a self-titled EP on Bar/None Records, were included on the first volume of Live At The Knitting Factory on A&M Records, and toured in Europe and North America, garnering a “Best Local Band” nod from the NY Press in 1990. That band was followed by the industrial cacophony of Wisdom Tooth, a group performing entirely on found and self-made instruments, who released a CD titled Mental Floss on the Knitting Factory imprint in 1997.
Marsh moved back to Austin in 2004 from New York and began building electronic music instruments and pedals. In 2015, he formed the Heavy Psych band Evil Triplet, with two releases on Super Secret Records: the 2xLP Otherworld in 2017 and Have A Nice Trip in 2018. A Super Secret imprint (Sonic Surgery Records) also released a full length retrospective LP of Terminal Mind containing the remixed and mastered original EP and the Live At Rauls cuts plus unreleased studio and live works called Recordings in 2018. Marsh performs regularly with renowned SpaceFolk avatar Ralph White, with whom he recorded 2018’s Two Distinguished Gentlemen on Self Sabotage Records, and continues to record Evil Triplet material. He currently records and performs solo as Radarcave (electronics) and as Life Skills Department (noise guitar), and is launching a Trance project called TelepathiX, all on eMERGENCY heARTS with more releases planned soon.
