Like their eclectic music, the 4 members have a variety of influences and styles. Playing in many bands in the Detroit area and finding each other through serendipitous circumstances, makkafroi has been channeling their diversity into their sound for over 4 years.
Their song-writing is styled by inspiration, which allows for a freedom of expression that won't fit into any box or label. Makkafroi is not afraid to conjure up images of breaking into an old schoolhouse, the hectic life of small town eccentricity, ill-fated lovers separated by a gigantic lake, the pain of dying love or untamable freedom.
These inspirations came together on their first full length album, Priscilla's Cowboy Suit. Combine this with an upbeat style of improv, and you have what can only be described as, well, Makkafroi.
