Mark's Music History
Pre 1988
|
|
Played in various High School bands, mostly with either Richard Wiezel or Jamie Martens. |
The Colts (1988-1989)
While still in High School, i joined "The Colts", named after the local football team, The Colyton Colts. The Colts were my first 'Pro' band, in the sense that we played gigs, knew all the chords and actually sounds good. The Colts played covers of 60s, 70s and 80s songs and played in beer gardens of pubs, hotels and clubs
Both myself and the guitarist were under age but back then it didn't stop us getting into clubs and playing (and drinking)
Towards the end of the band's life, we did a demo recording, with Richard Wiezel stepping in to play lead guitar.
Shades (1989-1990)
Playing covers was one thing, but it was original music that i really was into. Shades came about after walking home from school and hearing someone playing drums from a nearby house. Since i needed a drummer, i decided to knock on the front door and ask if the drummer was interested.
Thats how i met Stephen Legg, the new drummer for Shades.

Ruth's daughter Danni & I decided to form a band, so after coming up with a few songs we placed a couple of ads in Drum Media, the local muso street press, and teamed up with Ricardo Natoli and Daniel Mann.

Zoomorphic (2003-2004)
I played with Zoomorphic for about 4 months, in which time we never gigged but recorded a few great songs. After i left the band due to work commitments i believe they played a few gigs before disbanding.
Inch by Inch is a demo track recorded shortly before i left.
