CYSTIC FIBROSIS "BASSOLA"

A few weeks ago we came upon a message from Haydn Curtis, who was wondering if it would be ok to do a parody of a blink182 shirt to help raise money and awareness for his little sister Gwen who was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. We got to talking and wanted to get involved in helping in a bigger way

 Mark volunteered one of his guitars, and Greg "Craola" Simkins volunteered his immense talent to bring us a one of a kind, and do we mean "one of a kind" guitar. Not a "limited edition", there is not another one like this on the planet. Mark is going to be playing the "Bassola" guitar this week. So it's just not a pretty wall guitar, this one will have been on stage, seen the lights, the crowds, and actually played. The guitar will be auctioned off to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis.

HMNIM PODCAST - episode 3: Happy New Year?

Welcome to Episode 3 of the Hi MY NAME IS MARK podcast, formally titled Happy New Year?

 

It's the first podcast of the new year. We talk about the lack of Christmas gifts, Game of Thrones, and we catch up with Alex and Jack from All Time Low and even get to listen to the new single from their forthcoming album Future Hearts - "Something's Gotta Give". We also talk with music photo maven Megan Thompson, who tells us about the photo industry and what it takes to make it as a photographer in Los Angeles.
