Gartman is also part of No Wait Wait, an indie rock outfit which formed in 2005. Their self-titled debut was released on Alan Sparhawk's (of Low) Chairkickers' Union Music record label. The recording features performances from Sparhawk and Mimi Parker (both of Low).

Marc Gartman has lived in Duluth, MN since 2005. His band, 'No Wait Wait', released their second album on Chairkickers' Union Music on September 12th, 2006. They also recorded a third album in the summer of 2006 called 'You Need My Heart' that will not see release until 2007.

Gartman put the No Wait Wait moniker on indefinite hiatus in the Winter of 2006. A new project The Gallows with fellow Duluthian Nathan Starke was started around the same time. They recorded their debut album 'Sings Erik Sommer' in Gartman's home studio '3510 Minnesota'. This record was released on December 16th, 2006. The Gallows have most recently recorded a version of 'Rainbow Connection' for a benefit CD.
