Marsha - Not Lookin For Action - 1995
from the cd Tornado Bait

In 1995, ex-Leap of Faith bandmates Joe Romweber and Norman Underwood were beginning to assemble material to take into the studio to record the follow up to Joe's first solo record - All Over. Norman suggested that they enlist the help of ex-Orange Driver bandmate/guitarist Matt Paul. They enjoyed playing so much they decided to form a band and make a go of it as Marsha. They then recruited bass player Jeff Umbarger to fill in the final spot releasing a full length cd - Tornado Bait on Joe's own Vertical 8 label. Making the Local 506 their "home away from home," the guys enjoyed limited success and played and recorded more for fun than anything else. Matt Paul called it quits a few years later and the band forged ahead as a trio recording a second full length album - Wigged Out in 1998.

Band Members:
Joe Romweber - Guitar
Norman Underwood - Drums
Matthew Paul - Guitar
Jeff Umbarger - Bass
