Electrobuddha
Influenced by the sounds of psych bands like Love and Jefferson Airplane, Electrobuddha started out life in a little basement garden flat in Midsommarkransen, Stockholm in 2001 where Mark was working as a local stagehand with Live Nation Sweden. Mark was getting to see a whole variety of musical genres each night with his job, and after purchasing some recording equipment, he set about to fuse rock with bhangra with elements of psychrock and tinges of folk. In 2003, Mark returned to his native Scotland and released the first DIY Electrobuddha album 'Bleep, Whirr, Disco! It was well received and the Glasgow Daily Record described it as 'The Stones meets The Beta Band with Hendrix and James Brown on decks!' Mark continued creating music from home and it wasn't until 2011 that he put the Electrobuddha band together with the likes of Graeme Proctor on drums. The band played venues around Glasgow perfecting their psychrock sound for a couple of years before bereavement interrupted Mark's creativity with the passing of his parents. Writing began again after some years of a gap and the 'Roller Disco' album was released in 2018.
