Marseille Figs were formed in London in 1999 by J Maizlish Mole, Dorian McFarland and Tom Chant. They released two records – The Dirty Canon (2007) and Jumbo/The Long Goodbye EP (2009).

The Figs’ music was an amalgam of American folk music, free jazz and pop-punk, centred around Mole’s idiosyncratic songwriting and Chant’s explosive improvisations. For twelve years, they performed across the UK, Germany, France and the US, in venues of every imaginable description – Berlin dancehalls, Lower East Side dives, village fetes, public swimming pools, the V&A Museum, and concert halls from the Roseland Ballroom to Brixton Academy.

Their expanded lineup on record and in concert variously included double bass legend John Edwards, Pete Fraser (Down I Go), DM Bob (Deficits), and Andrew Ranken, Jem Finer and Darryl Hunt of the Pogues, who they supported on three separate tours. Marseille Figs went on indefinite hiatus in 2011, with their planned third album eventually transforming into MOLE’s double album Danger Island (2018).
