The Dark Marbles have taken the greatest stuff from the nuggets of melodic and upbeat garage/mod/power-pop rock and roll and made it their home turf. Powered by singer and guitarist Yod Crewsy (formerly of the mid-80s garage greats SplatCats and the JackLords), the Dark Marbles would love nothing better than to throw their crowds into a frenzied mass of dancing hysteria! It's the primitive sound of a couple of guitars, one melodic and clean, one loud and snotty, over a basic thumping back beat! So crude and yet so effective! The Dark Marbles are the following swingin' cats (and one chick): Yod Crewsy - singer, songwriter, Rickenbacker 330 and Vox Phantom playin' rhythm guitarist. Deb Schuster - bass player - tight and thumpin' bass stylings! A rockin' wildcat! Tony Stuppiello - powerhouse drummer formerly with NJ's famous rockabilly band: "Speedcrazy" - this dude packs a serious rhythmic wollop! Ouch!  With additional musicians from around NY State!  ____________________________________ WOW!  Coming up:  a CD release party on July 3, 2012 in Long Lake, NY at Quackenbush's Long View Lodge.  Free CDs to be given out!  Also:  a performance July 7th on board the WW.
