Homer Marrs

Known nationwide for his live performance of “The Facebook Song” on Jimmy Kimmel Live in support of the first National UnFriend Day, the Los Angeles–based indie rock musician Homer Marrs has been compared by the media to They Might Be Giants but sounds more like David Sedaris tickle-fighting R.E.M. His sound is catchy pop/rock with seriocomic lyrics: fun, melancholy, fierce.


In Chicago he performed as Homer Marrs and the Excellent Adventure, touring regionally and releasing the EPs Fun Size and Ending Songs. He has had video and concert sponsorship from hirsute hookup sites Bear411, Bearwww, and BearGrind; performed at Pride Festivals and bear runs; appeared on the cover of Bear World Magazine; walked in plus-size fashion shows; and had his music video for "A Prayer for Julian Sands" selected for promotion by the editors of Buzzfeed. In 2020 his single "Happy Pride from the End of the World" was ranked #1 on AltQ's Alternative Queer Radio Top 20, and also made it into that station's Top 40 of 2020.


In 2021 he released an acoustic reworking of the Danzig metal classic "Sistinas" as well as an original ballad, "Ben," both of which went to #1 on the AltQ Radio Chart and reached the Top 10 on the LGBTQ Radio Chart. "Ben" was also voted #7 in the Top 21 of '21 by the readers of Bear World Magazine and #3 in the Top 40 of 2021 on AltQ Radio.
