About Mark

Mark Crozer is a guitarist, bassist, singer-songwriter, instrumental composer, recording engineer and music producer with many years experience playing in and working with bands.

In 2007, after many years writing, recording and performing as a solo artist, Mark Crozer was asked to join seminal indie band The Jesus and Mary Chain when they reformed after a 9 year hiatus. During his time as rhythm guitarist with the band he performed at festivals such as Coachella, Summersonic in Japan, Rock en Seine in France, V-Fest in Australia and many others. The band also performed on The Late Show with David Letterman, recorded “All Things Must Pass” for the NBC show ‘Heroes’ and headlined club dates in the USA, UK, Japan and Australia.

While all this was going on Mark formed his own band called International Jetsetters with Loz Colbert, former drummer with shoegaze pioneers Ride (and now playing alongside Mark in the new Mary Chain line-up.) In 2007 US indie label Planting Seeds Records released their debut mini album - ‘Heart Is Black’ - which was warmly received gaining them great press from indie journals and music blogs around the world but particularly in the USA where they have developed a cult following. They were played on over 200 US college radio stations and received weekly airplay for a month on LA’s KROQ.

In February 2011, Planting Seeds re-issued Mark’s first two solo albums from 1999 and 2002 and an EP of new material. In the most recent issue of indie music magazine The Big Takeover (Issue 68), Jack Rabid describes ‘To Get To You’ as a “classic, as is a cover of The Cure’s 1985 The Head on the Door’s “A Night Like This,” a treat for fans of Ride’s Carnival of Light. The a-side’s A-Ok, too!"

Mark has recently finished work on his new album which has been mixed by Jay Braun (Fiery Furnaces, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Cat Power.) The album - 'Bristol Hum' - will be released in Spring 2012.
