Maserati is an American post-rock band from Athens, Georgia .

history

Maserati was founded in Athens in the spring of 2000 by Coley Dennis, Matthew Cherry, Steven Scarborough and Phillip Horan. After a self-published EP , The Language of Cities was released in 2002 on the Kindercore Records label from Athens (including Of Montreal ). After a year-long break from the band, during which some members of the band toured with Macha and Now It's Overhead , Jerry Fuchs - formerly the drummer at Turing Machine - replaced Phillip Horan on drums. Extensive tours through America, Europe and Japan followed. After the end of the children's core label, Maserati switched to Hello Sir Records and released their EP The Language of Cities again. This was followed by splits with The Mercury Program, Cinemechanica and We vs. The Shark as well as a 7 ″ single . For the publication of her first CD / LP Inventions for the New Seasons , Maserati switched to Temporary Residence (including Explosions in the Sky , Mono ).

The band's drummer, Gerhardt "Jerry" Fuchs, died on November 8, 2009 while trying to free himself from a stuck elevator, falling five floors and succumbing to serious injuries in the hospital.
