Malachi (Blissfield, MI) - Self-Titled CD - 5. Plunge. 1998 Michigan Christian Hardcore/Metal.

Recorded in April 1998 for East Lansing, Michigan based 16:20 Records, Malachi hailed from Blissfield, Michigan. The band was short lived until the evening members were involved in a car accident coming home from a show in 1999. The accident left drummer Marc Navaro paralyzed, but still excited to be part of the local music scene. Malachi reformed as Emo outfit Tomorrow Feels Like Sunday with Mark moving from Drums to vocals.

Malachi dedicates the album to Shaun, Adolio Navaro, Lenzee, Lyndi, Tori, and those who loved them.

In 2007, Marc wrote a chapter entitled "Reconnecting" for Deep: Real Life with Spinal Cord Injury (Marcy Epstein and Travar Pettway Editors, Marc Navaro Author, University of Michigan Press, 2007). The chapter talks about his accident, riding home from a March 1999 gig with Malachi, as well as returning to the music scene, within Tomorrow Feels Like Sunday, and what a value music is to a scene that’s most appropriately called a family.

Printed with permission of the University of Michigan Press, the following passage appears in Scene and Unseen: Flyer Art of The Lansing Underground:

“In the world of music, going to concert shows is like going to family reunions, your family increasing as you meet new performers and their listeners. I may understand these people better than I know my own family. I have always felt able to relate to these friends better, for our music helps us to get around life’s complications…”
