Marsden Global

SO many bands Marsden plays, familiar sounds, maybe voices, they have previous bands, aliases, or reincarnations, can we get a thread started for Marsden tunes that can be dissected and tracked back? There is so much out there that comes from something else, such as Bob Dylan's son Jacob singing lead in the Wallflowers tune Reboot the Mission....there is so much musical knowledge within the ranks of the theatre, it would be really cool to see where it goes!

It's a very cool idea. I think this would work best however - if we knew where to start. IE - artist names that interest you. Kind of a six degrees of separation game...

You go first....

Hmmm, there are so many bands that the question "where are they now" pops up. Gotta figure members are still in the game. I know a lot of bands from the 90's dissolved and formed new groups, like blink182 lead started Angels and Airwaves...I always wonder about the bands that put out one album then disappeared, like Organica, Starkicker, Monaco...then bands like House of Love that had multiple albums. I think of Montrose, with Eddie before he was Van Halen. Then all the Aussie bands, like Psychedelic Furs and Breeding Ground.

Speakin of Aussie bands...

Harry Vanda and George Young were members of the Easybeats



They later formed Flash & The Pan




Also a bit surprising to me is that George Young is Malcolm and Angus Young's (AC/DC) brother.

Interesting @contact....this is what I'm talking about! Often times it's the individual artist's first foray into music that is overlooked, or the rare collaborations that are rarely if ever heard by the masses

Yes! Love this.

and so educational!!!
I will be looking forward to more on this...

Richard Jobson was front man of The Skids and Stuart Adamson was guitarist:



Jobson went on to front Armoury Show, with John McGeoch on guitar, and produced one album:



Adamson went on to help form Big Country:



John McGeoch went on to play for Siouxsie & The Banshees:



Phew!

Awesome miss_parker! One of these days I'll try putting a comprehensive list of the bands I know on this

I was introduced to Depeche Mode by a very knowledgeable employee of the record peddler (or perhaps owner Ben Hoffman himself - i wouldn't know) when he noticed my shopping list of music only heard on CFNY at the time. He said "here, you should get this also...these kids are gonna be huge!" Soon after that, CFNY began playing tracks from Speak & Spell.

Vince Clarke and Andy Fletcher were schoolmates and with Dave Gahan and Martin Gore they formed the original lineup of Depeche Mode in 1980.



In November 1981 Clarke announced that he was leaving Depeche Mode and almost immediately hooked up with Alison Moyet to form Yazoo.



Seems they didn't really get along and went their separate ways 1983.

Vince Clark briefly formed The Assembly with producer Eric Radcliffe in 1983 and hired Feargal Sharkey for their only single, Never Never.
This live version has Andy Bell on backup vocals.



In the mid 1980's Vince Clark formed Erasure with Andy Bell.

Alan Wilder went on to form Recoil. Love their version of Faith Healer!

Yes - The Record Peddler. A wonderful place. I'm also loving this thread. So many wonderful group mash-ups.

Very cool. I guess I should put together a family tree of late 60's-early80's British folk/prog/glam/punk rock people covering Strawbs, Yes, Keef Hartley Band, Colosseum, Deep Purple, Spooky Tooth, Cat Stevens(!), Hudson-Ford, The Monks, Fire, etc.

They're all Strawbs, anyway.

Andy Summers was a member of Eric Burdon & The Animals (playing on their final album from 1968) 10 years before he was in the Police.

Excellent. I just learned something -
