SHARON STONED

License To Confuse

About Me


1995 - The two Songwriter and Musicians Mark Kowarsch and Christopher Uhe formed the Band & 4 Track Recording-Project SHARON STONED. They both played in the Band SPEED NIGGS before. SHARON STONED released the incredible Debut Album "License To Confuse" in 1995.
SHARON STONED worked together with LOU BARLOW, THE NOTWIST, SYLVIA JUNCOSA and with EVAN DANDO of THE LEMONHEADS (on the Track "Special Plan"). "License To Confuse" was released in Europe, USA and Japan. Pretty unusual was not only the Combination of weird 4 Track Homerecording LoFi Sounds with lots of popular Guestmusicians and HiFi Studiotracks but also the unexpected high Sales, Reviews & Airplays worldwide.
After the terrific "Tape" 7' for the Berlin Label CITY SLANG, SHARON STONED signed to SONY/COLUMBIA. The second Album "Sample & Hold" was released 1996 (with Studio Guests Roeland Van Niele of GITBOX!, TUESDAY WELD, FURTIPS, Hans Platzgumer of HP ZINKER & DIE GOLDENEN ZITRONEN, Tom Liwa, Dirk von Lowtzow of TOCOTRONIC and THE NOTWIST) and was produced by SCHNEIDER TM.
SHARON STONED supported the whole "CAR BUTTON CLOTH" European Tour of THE LEMONHEADS in 1996, a huge Festival Tour in Summer ( ROCK AM RING, ROCK IM PARK, HURRICANE, SOUTHSIDE, RHEINKULTUR, MAMMA MIA,..) and released the "Down" Single (1996) and "Your Very Own EP" (1997).
Over the years Mark Kowarsch & Christopher Uhe used to have diverse Line-Ups for their Concerts and Tours - also for their legendary and highly-celebrated Hosting Appearances and Live Sessions at the "WAH WAH" & "FAST FORWARD" Shows on the german Music-TV Channel VIVA 2.
Members of THE NOTWIST, 18TH DYE, FRED IS DEAD, TUESDAY WELD, RAGAZZI, MUSTANG FORD, THE BEAUTIFUL NEW BORN CHILDREN, A MILLION MERCIES & SCHNEIDER TM were part of the SHARON STONED Community.
