Music:Member Since: 12/9/2005Band Website: sparklehorse.com Band Members: Mark Linkous & Friends Influences: Mark is influenced by various artists. His first moment of clarity, musically, was when a friend played him 'House of the Rising Sun' by The Animals. Mark was hooked because it was louder than a dirt bike. When he was young he was mostly into bluegrass and country, and artists such as George Jones, Johnny Cash, The Stanley Brothers. Later on he got into punk rock, notably the Sex Pistols, Led Zeppelin, and The Damned. However when forming Sparklehorse it was Mark's intention to make a kind of pop equivalent to Tom Wait's 'Swordfishtrombone.' Sounds Like: Sparklehorse Record Label: Capitol Records Type of Label: Major |
