Mark "Wiff" Smith

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mark Smith, nicknamed "Wiff," was the drummer for British gothic rock group Play Dead from 1980 to January 1986. When Play Dead broke up, Mark was in The Beastmaster Generals with ex-Play Deadsinger Rob Hickson and ex-Play Dead guitarist Steve Green (play dead). The Beastmaster Generals only recorded a few demos that were never released into the world. He always sported a rather large, shaggy, and blonde spiderweb-like hair style. As of 2006, Wiff is the tour manager for The Pretenders.
