Though Marion&#8217;s real-life existence seems equally paradisiacal: He hails from New Jersey, where he&#8217;s part of the Smallboypants collective, most of whom play in his live band. He&#8217;s signed to David Byrne&#8217;s Luaka Bop label, spends his time taking 100-mile bike rides, playing basketball, or hanging out with his sonic brothers in Fang Island&#8211; who, it transpires, run &#8220;a cheese van&#8221; in New York, and named their truffle oil-infused grilled sandwich after him: Anyone for the $10 &#8220;Delicate Cheese&#8221;?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Delicate Steve is among the acts playing at Club One for the 2013 Stopover.
