Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Tony Goldmark's very-long-awaited first solo comedy album in ten long years, GOLDMARK AFTER DARK! Featuring the Logan Award-nominated Dr. Demento Show smash hit "The Guy On TV Is Not Happy" plus such fan favorites as "Burn," "Not Dead" and "Movie In A Movie!" Tony Goldmark is the son of pedal-steel guitarist Joe Goldmark and singer/songwriter/producer Kathi Kamen-Goldmark, the latter of the Rock Bottom Remainders (a band that has counted Stephen King, Warren Zevon and Simpsons creator Matt Groening among its members). Goldmark was only 13 when the glorious power of nepotism helped thrust his first award-awaiting album, You Bug Me! Songs Guaranteed To Annoy Your Parents, into unwilling existence in late 1996. His very first Dr. Demento airplay came a few months later, with his majestic 96-second ode to ichthyological paranoia, "I Know You're A Fish." Since then, Goldmark has scored such Dr. Demento hits as the self-explanatory "Kill The Backstreet Boys" (#9 of 2000), the anti-Creed screed "Teeth Clenched" (#3 of 2003), the smash meme-generating Harry Potter/Sir Mix-A-Lot parody "Sirius Black" (#2 of 2004), the ode to a guy who doesn't know things "The Guy Who Doesn't Know Things" (#11 of 2005, as part of the band Flying Like Wilma) and of course the tribute to our good friends at cable news, "The Guy On TV Is Not Happy" (#6 of 2010). So far two of Tony's Dr. Demento hits have had titles that begin with the words "The Guy." Watch this space for further developments. Tony also has a web video review series in which he hilariously deconstructs theme parks in every way but literally, SOME JERK WITH A CAMERA, now available to watch on the video hosting site Blip. GOLDMARK AFTER DARK was recorded off and on over three years at the home studio of acclaimed musician and engineer Garth Webber, who has played with such music legends as Miles Davis and Gregg Allman, and features such real musicians playing real instruments as Hank Maninger and Gary Potterton on guitar, Henry Salvia on keyboards, Paul Olguin on bass and Paul Revelli on drums. Musically, the album covers such diverse genres as surf rock ("Burn"), arena country-rock ("The Road!"), 60s folk ("Ah Vah"), 70s funk ("Theme From Officer Down"), 80s jock rock ("Movie In A Movie"), honky tonk bar band ("She'll Come Crawlin' Back") and even lounge-y cool jazz ("Curl Up And Die"). Lyrically, it covers such satirical topics as addiction ("Not Dead"), media obsession ("The Guy On TV Is Not Happy"), arrogant celebrities ("Humility Tower"), soul-crushing traffic ("One Damn Lane"), blind patriotism ("Take Back America"), good old fashioned solipsism ("Everyone Else") and of course Victoria Jackson ("SKJ"). As Tony puts it, one of his favorite general topics is "examining people - real, fictional and everything in between - who are too psychologically buried alive in their own self-serving b.s. to realize what monsters they are." There's a dollop of anger in there, but hopefully not obnoxiously so - it's all more silly than satirical, with catchy tunes and clever wordplay everywhere. Tony's biggest musical influences include "Weird Al" Yankovic, Tom Lehrer, The Lonely Island, They Might Be Giants, Warren Zevon, Ben Folds, Robbie Fulks, Worm Quartet and Logan Whitehurst & the Junior Science Club, just to name a few. Come along on this magical journey through the dark, twisted recesses of Tony Goldmark's subconscious, ladies and gentlemen. THIS...is Goldmark After Dark.
