Dark

Bio

There are more than one band with the name DARK. 1) Dark was a British psychedelic rock band which released one album, "Round the Edges" in 1971. This legendary progressive rock band, which was responsible for the UK's most expensive album, was formed by Steve Giles whilst at school in Northampton in 1968. They met local entrepreneur Alan Bowley who'd recently converted a derelict house into a recording studio, and this led to four acetates of "RC8" and "In The Sky". They performed at a few local gigs, and as their playing got tighter, decided to go into SIS Studios, Northampton, with engineer Alan Bowley, to record an album. The six tracks, written and arranged by the band were recorded over a weekend in 1972 and consist of melodic progressive rock laced with lots of fuzzy guitar riffs. Only a handful of copies were pressed, and Giles, who had a strong interest in photography, made the first twelve copies into full-colour gatefold sleeves, complete with booklets of photographs stapled together, augmented with handwritten notes. They were handed out to band members and their girlfriends! The band then split with Clive and Martin going their own ways, and Steve and Ron continuing to record for their own pleasure until 1977 when Ron married and moved to Cornwall. Kissing Spell traced the band in 1991 to tell them the original album was worth a small fortune, and offering to reissue it on vinyl and CD. A re-issue had been done on vinyl in the States, followed by Kissing Spell's efforts. The members then got back together and decided to see if they could still play. Previously unrecorded tracks were dusted off, more material written, and Dark re-entered the studio world in 1994 at Outrider Studios, Northampton, over twenty years after their first outing. A couple of tracks were laid down before the studio went bust, and Dark moved on to Far Heath Studios in Guilsborough, where the album, "Anonymous Days", was completed in 1996. It was issued on CD in a limited edition of 500, twenty-five years after "Dark Round The Edges". Word got around that the band were playing again and offers of live gigs started to come in. They decided to do just one hail/farewell gig, which turned out to be the Northampton Beer Festival, on May 31st, 1997. The local brewery, Frog Island, brewed a special limited edition bottled beer in the gig's honour, which sold for £2.50. The bonus tracks only feature Steve Giles on lead and vocals, Clive Thorneycroft on drums and a bass player called Carl Bush. Neither Martin Weaver or Ron Johnson feature on these added tracks. Also reissued on vinyl in a repro of the original sleeve in 1998. There have been a number of additional retrospective releases: "Anonymous Days" (Darkedge Records DRCD 2371), is the twenty-five year follow-up to "Dark Round The Edges". Recorded between 1994 and 1996, it features the original band with tracks written both in the '70s and the '90s; "Dark/Tarsus" (Kissing Spell KSCD 9494) features a long jam which the band recorded for their own interest in 1975. It features Steve on lead, Clive on drums, Martin on lead, Ron on acoustic and electric guitars, and a couple of friends on bass and bongos. It is not one of their better jams. It also features a couple of tracks from Tarsus, a local band who disappeared in the early '70s. Their tracks are pretty poor. The Dark Jam has also been issued on CD as "The Jam". Another CD, "Teenage Angst" (Kissing Spell KSCD 9402), 1994, features only Steve of the Dark line-up, and was recorded on amateur equipment in a church hall. From all accounts, it is pretty poor. "Artefacts From A Black Museum (Acme)" is thought to only feature Steve and possibly Clive and is not very good. There is also an acetate single on the New York label in existence. It features Steve Giles on lead, Clive Thorneycroft on drums and Carl Bush on bass. The tracks are believed to be "RC8" and "In The Sky". There are only two copies in existence, and the band have one of them. 2) A US Black Metal band from Massachusetts 3) Dark was a German/Serbian/Czech/American/Indian group who released two albums on the CMP label, the self-titled 1986 release and 1988's Tamna Voda. The core of Mark Nauseef (percussion, keyboards) and Mark London Sims (bass electric guitar, percussion, keyboards) was augmented by Catherine Guard (vocals) on the first album, while a very different lineup and sound resulted from the addition of David Torn (electric guitar), L. Shankar (electric double violin), Leonice Shinneman (percussion, drums, keyboards) and frequent Nauseef collaborator Miroslav Tadić (electric guitar) on the second album. The music was highly experimental post-rock immediately derived from Nauseef's poly-cultural percussion palette and experimentation with the synthesizer technology of the era, rooted in various threads of the 70s and 80s post-rock avant-garde (e.g. King Crimson, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Tony William's Lifetime, Brand X), Sundanese gamelan, Hindustani and Carnatic music, among various other traditional and percussive musics, with a somewhat "dark" sound similar to groups like Univers Zero, Present and Shub-Niggurath. Very few traces remained of Nauseef's earlier career phase in conventional rock music during the 70s, such as his stints in The Velvet Underground, Elf (with Ronnie James Dio), Ian Gillan Band, Thin Lizzy and G-Force, as by the mid 80s he had shifted his attention to more experimental and traditional music. Nauseef and Tadić worked together in a somewhat related vein in projects with pianist Joachim Kühn and bass electric guitarist Tony Newton, notably documented on the 1991 CMP album Let's Be Generous 4) A German Gothic Metal band from Kaiserslautern. 5) Underground rapper from Mostar, Bosnia&Herzegovina 6) Czech early death metal/thrash metal band founded in 1990. In 2000 renamed to Dark gamballe. Now playing nu metal/rock . User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
