Nominated in 2 categories at the Australian Blues Music Awards: Best New Talent Best Album \\\"Bandwagon\\\" and Nominated in 3 categories at the Blue Star Awards: Best Australasian Blues Band Best Electric Guitarist Best Album \\\"Bandwagon. New cd releasing on “Beach Bumming” tour Feb 2012 2011 was very interesting indeed after a patch of writers block, Mark is experimenting with more intense looping and electronic percussion, and bass playing. He is performing some stuff he loves listening to, but puts his own stamp on it hip hop blues crossover tunes by RL Burnside Moby Everlast and old school funk by Grandmaster Flash Run Dmc The Cure Donna Summer George Michael and Abba Sounds way out there but with Marks blues mark on it blows your mind sideways. And the new monster double neck guitar is certainly turning heads and collecting ears.
