Mark Dannells |

If a young man wants to grows up in Allentown, PA without too much trouble, he must either play sports or stay in the good graces of those that do. Strange noises in Mark Dannells' head told him to choose neither. He became a rock guitarist.
Years later, Mark is now a card-carrying refugee from the 90's rock scene. As an alternative to psychotherapy, this Berklee grad has firmly embraced computer music as a new and innovative way to trace the source of the noises in his head. When not performing with the Brand New Immortals (recently featured on HBO's Reverb), Mark is using Cubase for Windows to crank out killer Loop Packages like "Devil Flowers (#0057)" or "Def Leppard Drowning (#0064)." When asked about his most defining moment so far as a musician, Mark says "Winning an Emmy for a piece of music my band did for a commercial was pretty cool, but I hope that wasn't the defining moment. Actually, when Brand New Immortals opened for Stain'd the crowd HATED us. I realized that I kind of enjoyed the fact they hated us so much. That was pretty punk rock."
