About Me

Hello, My name is Mark. I was born at night on the darkest day of the year in one of the darkest part of the continental united states. I've been trying to avoid the light ever since. I have lived in many places, slept on couches, floors, and the wonderfully comfortable mattresses of kings and queens.

I am the singer and guitarist for the world's most exciting multi-racial power trio that has ever existed. I spend many moments trying to capture the random thoughts which keep me up at night, and every time I'm on stage I desperately fight as hard as I can to relieve the aching building pressure in my skull of musical notes and heart aching cries.

You should see it sometime, it's a trip.
