Marc Riley (born 10 July 1961 in Manchester)〔"(Mark Radcliffe & Lard Chronology )", scrawnandlard.co.uk, retrieved 12 December 2010〕 is an English radio DJ, alternative rock critic and musician. He currently presents on BBC Radio 6 Music. Formerly a member of the Fall, he had his own record label, In-Tape, and also worked as a record plugger for bands such as Massive Attack, the Pixies, the Cocteau Twins and the Happy Mondays.〔Smith, Mark E. & Middles, Mick (2003) ''The Fall'', Omnibus Press, ISBN 978-0-7119-9762-2, p. 261〕 Marc has worked in radio since about 1990 and for 14 years of that he worked with Mark Radcliffe on BBC Radio 5 and BBC Radio 1, during which time he was known as Lard. He joined 6 Music in April 2004. == Musical career == Born and raised in Manchester, Riley was in a band at school called the Sirens (alongside Craig Scanlon and Steve Hanley, also later members of the Fall) before joining the Fall between May 1978 and January 1983.〔 He originally was a fan of the group and then worked as a roadie before being added to the line-up playing bass.〔Cumming, Tim (2004) "(Wild Thing )", ''The Guardian'', 19 January 2004, retrieved 12 December 2010〕 He can be heard on this instrument on their second single "It's the New Thing" and debut album ''Live at the Witch Trials''. He switched to guitar and keyboards in 1979 and held this position until falling out with Mark E. Smith during the group's 1982 tour of Australia and New Zealand. In 2005, he told the BBC that Smith had sacked him by telephone in early 1983, telling him that they were undertaking a tour without him. According to Smith this happened on Riley's wedding day,〔The Guardian, Monday 14 April 2008, p6〕 but Riley has said that this wasn't true (Riley married on Xmas Eve 1982 and was sacked from the band in January '83). Riley formed his own band, the Creepers.〔Strong, Martin C. (2003) ''The Great Indie Discography'', Canongate, ISBN 1-84195-335-0, p. 483-4〕 Steve Hanley, Paul Hanley and Craig Scanlon played on Riley's first solo single "Favourite Sister". He released several albums during the following years eventually under the name of the Creepers, who disbanded in 1987. He then formed a band including ex-members of Pere Ubu and Captain Beefheart's Magic Band called the Lost Soul Crusaders (named after a fictional group in an episode of the detective series ''Columbo'' whose lead singer was played by one of Riley's heroes, Johnny Cash), but the record company funding the band went bust before any material could be recorded. Animosity between Smith and Riley continued to influence both bands' material〔https://sites.google.com/site/reformationposttpm/members-of-the-gruppe/marc-riley〕 such as "Hey Marc Riley", a rewritten version of Bo Diddley's "Hey Bo Diddley", to date only available on live bootlegs. Riley responded in kind with his 1984 single "Jumper Clown" – a reference to Smith's then affection for bad 1970s jumpers, as well as "Snipe" on the 1985 ''Shadow Figure'' EP and his own live only co-opting of Bo Diddley, "Marc Riley is a Gunslinger". Riley co-owned the In-Tape label with Jim Khambatta until it went bust in 1991, managing the label between 1983 and 1986.〔Buckley, Peter (2003) ''The Rough Guide to Rock'', Rough Guides, ISBN 978-1-84353-105-0〕〔"(Marc Riley, Esq )", debretts.com, retrieved 12 December 2010〕 In 1988, he co-produced (with Jon Langford) a Johnny Cash tribute album, ''Til Things are Brighter'', to raise funds for the Terrence Higgins Trust.〔Popson, Tom (1988) "Johnny Cash Meets The Hip Britons: English Acts Record a Tribute to a 'Cool Dude'", ''Chicago Tribune'', 29 July 1988, p. H〕 The album was endorsed and admired by Cash himself who is featured alongside Riley and Langford on its cover. Between 1986 and 1989, he drew and wrote the comic strips ''Harry the Head'' and ''Doctor Mooney'' for the comic ''Oink!'', as well as recording a flexidisc single for the comic as a giveaway.〔 These have become collector items. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marc Riley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
