Mark And The Slumdogs
Black Room Destitute
Mark & The Slum Dogs is a new project from Mark Penington, frontman of Neo-Rockabilly pioneers The Caravans, which took shape when Mark called in his good friend and co-musician Mark Sprex of The Rhumba Kings. Mark P and Mark S first crossed-paths back in the late 80s when they were both playing the same festival billings. They recorded their first demos together in 1994. Busy schedules always stood in the way of anything really happening until the two re-united for the recording of the The Rhumba Kings album which Mark Penington produced and engineered. The two discussed working together, and it's now time for the project to happen. Mark and the Slumdogs have an accoustic rockin' sound the fans of The Caravans and The Rhumba Kings will love. It also allows them to stray from the confines of Rockabilly to bring in ideas and influences which wouldn't fit comfortably with their other bands.
