Mark Steiner & His Problems (born Mark Steiner, 26 January 1970) is a Norwegian-American rock musician, guitarist and songwriter. In 1997, through a classified ad in The Village Voice, Steiner started a band called Piker Ryan's Folly. It gave its last performance in 2000 at CBGB, at an event〔http://absolutionnyc.com/2000/08/04/piker-ryan-absolution-present-an-evening-at-mcgurks-suicide-hall/〕 intended to save a neighboring tenement building, 295 Bowery, from demolition. Afterwards Eric Wolter and Steiner started a new band called Kundera, which featured violinist Susan Mitchell and Jerome O'Brien on string bass. In 2001, Steiner moved to Oslo, Norway and performed as a soloist at the 2003 Iceland Airwaves Festival and the 2004 Øyafestivalen. In 2006, he contributed a track to a tribute CD for Australian musician Rowland S. Howard. After a European mini-tour as "Piker Ryan", he played a solo tour of Portugal. He recorded songs in Paris and New York for a debut solo CD ''Fallen Birds''. In 2009, a second record "Broken" was released in a two-CD edition by Z-Man Records. In late 2014, he released "Saudade" under the name "Mark Steiner & His Problems," which features both original works as well as interpretations of songs by deceased artists Billie Holiday, Lou Reed, Bruno Adams, Robert Burås, and Rowland S. Howard. He has performed as an opening act for Michael Gira, Kid Congo Powers, Devendra Banhart, Mick Harvey, Madrugada, Norwegian singer Ingrid Olava, Rowland S. Howard, Hugo Race and others. ==Band history== *Unified Division (vocalist, songwriter); *The Third of May (bass guitar); *Piker Ryan's Folly (vocalist, songwriter) with founding member Phil "The Tremolo King" Vanderyken (guitar) and members Christopher Mele (drums), Peter Mele (bass), Eric Wolter (piano) and several others; *Kundera (vocalist, songwriter, guitar) with founding members Eric "The Heretic" Wolter (piano, vocalist) and Susan Mitchell (violin) and featured guest member Jerome O'Brien (string bass); *The Mirror Reveals (bass guitar) with founding member James Babbo (guitar, songwriter) and members Kit Messick (vocalist) and Joanna Dalin (violin); *Chimney Sweepers (vocalist, songwriter, guitar – Norway, 2003); *Mark Steiner and The Broken Men (vocalist, songwriter, guitar – Norway and New York City, 2004–2005); *Mark Steiner and The Debauchery (vocalist, songwriter, guitar – Norway, 2006); *Mark Steiner and The Fallen Birds (vocalist, songwriter, guitar – France and Norway, 2006–2008); *Mark Steiner and The Fallen Little Birds (vocalist, songwriter, guitar – 2008 Australian Tour); *Saudade (baritone guitar, co-vocalist and co-songwriter) with founding member Thomas Borge (bass) and member Tobias "Tex" Lange (drums); *Mark Steiner and The Broken Birds (vocalist, songwriter, guitar – 2009 Australian Tour); *Mark Steiner and His Problems (vocalist, songwriter, guitar – present). 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「Mark Steiner (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
