Mark has toured from North America through South America to Japan to Israel to Africa and back, with bands like Black Lips, King Khan & The Shrines and Clinic as well as opening for a list of bands that reads like a music fan’s dream. Recording as Mark Sultan began in 2007 with his album, The Sultanic Verses, which garnered acclaim worldwide. The album ushered in a departure from his infamous garage-rock sound - 2-3 minute masterpieces of well-written rock n roll; bona fide hits from eras past. He was an originator of the genre’s flirtation with doo-wop and possessor of a voice comparable to soul greats like Sam Cooke.
A true original sound was born on 2010’s new album $ on Last Gang Records. Wielding an arsenal of fantastic songs and performances with many projects, $, is his best work so far. Drawing from his usual influences, Mark has managed to forge an inventive and captivatingly original record. Doo-wop, R&B, punk, soul, garage-rock, psyche, country and even noise are blended into a seamless new sound that finds a place on the base of your spine and crawls its way up, slowly.
