Marjorie Fair is an indie rock/psychedelic American band formed in New Jersey by musician Evan Slamka, and based in Los Angeles, California. The band is best known for their debut album Self Help Serenade, released in 2004 on Capitol Records.

The group promoted the album with a performance at the Glastonbury Festival, iTunes Sessions and further touring with Tegan and Sara and Mellowdrone that fall.[3]

June 2009, the band released the e.p Spectrum of Love. Produced by Joey Waronker and mixed by Darrell Thorp.
In a series of posts in early 2015, Slamka teased cover art for a new Marjorie Fair album to be titled I Am My Own Rainbow.
I Am My Own Rainbow was released March 25, 2016 on Psychic Bully. The album was preceded by the first single "Songbird". Followed by a video for the song "Save Time". Produced again by Joey Waronker and the band. The band played shows on the west coast and around Los Angeles while writing and recording the follow-up.
A new record titled "Distant Talker" was scheduled for 2021 release but has yet to appear.
