The Mark Sparkles started out as three friends (Ben, Erica and Jake) playing songs together in their apartment in Seattle, WA. Eventually they decided to start playing shows. After a handful of bitchin' shows they decided to fill out their sound. Their friend Erik (later to be known as Wolfgang) wanted to become their bass player, but he couldn't play an instrument so he became the tambourine player/singer/party guy. Shortly thereafter Ens joined on to play bass.

The Mark Sparkles started out as three friends (Ben, Erica and Jake) playing songs together in their apartment in Seattle, WA. Eventually they decided to start playing shows. After a handful of bitchin' shows they decided to fill out their sound. Their friend Erik (later to be known as Wolfgang) wanted to become their bass player, but he couldn't play an instrument so he became the tambourine player/singer/party guy. Shortly thereafter Ens joined on to play bass. The band enjoyed a long period of creativity and many good shows with this lineup before deciding to add Alycen as an additional tambourine player, as well as a singer who could actually sing well. After another burst of creativity Wolfgang and Alycen moved out of state, making way for current tambourine player and singer Riann. The Mark Sparkles are currently writing songs and playing shows and would love to party with you.
