With the addition of Mark's drumming, The Coralinas area natural progression of Cam's solo work for guitar andlive looping. Mark has a rich musical pedigree - workingwith Ed Kuepper through the late 80's and 90's, he nowplays with The Blackeyed Susans as well as The Coralinas.
He is a perfect foil for Cam's inspirational guitarwork, sometimes using mallets, his hands and percussionas support for Cam's guitar loops and grooves.

The sound of The Coralinas is completely unique andcaptivating, evoking perhaps wild Australian landscapes,harsh deserts or urban darkness.
