The death of Ralph Stanley prompted a dare among John Stanley, Eve Bekker and Nancie Lualhati to form a SF-country cover band, which in turn rekindled a love for playing and creating original tunes. They developed a devoted fan base. Eventually, Eve moved to France and Macerator evolved into something new with Bruce Ducheneaux and Mo Fleishmann.
Bruce and Mo have been the touring powerhouse rhythm section for Assassins of God, Enorchestra, Black Kali Ma and Waycross — separately Bruce was the drummer for Bomb, Spoke Poker & Gary Floyd and Convictions, among others. Mo plays and makes basses! He has enjoyed playing his own creations with A Subtle Plague, Hedonist, Kelley Stoltz and Tony Sales. John’s singular and liquid guitar style was developed after his years with Gels, the Lemurs, Worry Dolls, Clodhopper and the Incorrigible Danny Pearson. Nancie loves song craft and the power of a melody and harmonic shapes. Some of her project were Dime Box, 17 Reasons, The Incredible Love Machine and had an extensive recording project with the legendary Tom Mallon.
“La Luz” is the band’s second album and will be released 22 September 2026.
They are here to tell you this: do not give up. They love the people and things they love, and are furious about all the rest of it. Music is a defiant act of hope! Fuck all those fucks and LIVE!
Macerator released its first album on vinyl and digital formats in 2022 on Tom Mallon’s Grifter Records with the expert hand of producer/engineer Desmond Shea.
