Joseph Matheny in conversation with the diversely creative spirit, Mark Mallman.
“Criminally under appreciated” and “The greatest indie songwriter you’ve never heard” are both phrases written in the past 12 years of Mark Mallman’s professional career. He’s opened for the likes of Donovan, Of Montreal, Cat Power, Green Day, Howie Day, Linda Ronstadt, Tegan and Sara, and Guided by Voices to name a select few. His songs have been featured on This American Life, MTV, VH1, MSNBC, Current Television, and Public Radio International. In Minneapolis, he boasts a star on the side of First Avenue Nightclub. He is also featured contributor in the book “Music Theory for Dummies”.
As front man for Kindercore records electro/house/rock act, Ruby Isle – or composer for major motion picture trailers such as 10000bc, Adventureland, The Hitcher, and The Haunting of Molly Hartley – Mark Mallman has accomplished more creatively than most artists twice his age. Unlike ANY other artist, he’s performed the longest rock song ever written, a piano solo with the rear tire of a full sized motor scooter, and for 10 hours inside of a refrigerator box. His newest release, “Invincible Criminal”, was released fall of 2009 on Badman Recording Company (My Morning Jacket, Starf***ker) .
