Gary Marx

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gary Marx (b. Mark Pearman) is founding member of British rock band The Sisters of Mercy and its lead-guitarist and songwriter from 1980 to 1985.

He stepped out of the band in 1985 to form goth/pop/rock combo Ghost Dance, which included ex-Skeletal Family vocalist Anne-Marie Hurst. They released two albums and embarked on a number of extensive tours enjoying relative success. However, record-company politics and inconsistency in personnel left the outfit reeling and they disbanded by the end of 1989.

In the early nineties he signed up as a teacher at Paul McCartney's Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts. His album "Pretty Black Dots" can be purchased at his website listed below. He currently is releasing material as an independent artist through his own website and has set up an archive for his previous band Ghost Dance.

In 2007 Marx released, under the "Nineteen Ninety Five and Nowhere" moniker, a self-titled album with material originally written by him in 1995 for The Sisters of Mercy at the invitation of Andrew Eldritch^[1].
