Mark Roebuck
Mark Roebuck is a composer and musician living near Charlottesville, Virginia, known primarily for his work as the main songwriter for the 1980s underground power pop group The Deal and for his later project, Tribe of Heaven, ''Imagine We Were'', recorded with Dave Matthews in 1989-90 and finally put out as an independent release in 2005.
==Early career==
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana,〔Celebrity Birth Information: Mark Roebuck. http://www.quotesby.co.uk/celebrities/mark_roebuck-c190889/〕 Roebuck moved at age four to Petersburg, Virginia. In his teens, he began writing and recording original music and playing professionally as a folk duo with classmate Eric Schwartz.〔Graves, Lee and King, Carianne. “Rockin’ The Grounds.” The University of Virginia Magazine. Summer 2011. (p. 25) http://uvamagazine.org/features/article/rockin_the_grounds/P5/〕 In 1977 Roebuck and Schwartz both moved to Charlottesville to attend the University of Virginia.〔“Fashion 1982.” Los Angeles Times. (1982-03-19)〕 There they met Memphis musician and classmate Haines Fullerton and formed The Deal. They eventually added Hugh Patton and Jim Jones to the lineup and began playing up and down the east coast, while continuing to record demos of their original material.〔Glauber, Gary (2003-11-01) “The Deal, Goodbye September”. Pop Matters http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/deal-goodbye〕 In 1982 they signed with Premier Talent Agency and completed a management contract with former Ramones manager Linda S. Stein.〔“First Impression” (1981-10-01) Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine (p. 25)〕 In 1983 Albert Grossman, head of Warner Bros. Records subsidiary label Bearsville Records, signed the band to a five-album recording contract.〔McNair, Dave. (2004-09-16). “Dave, Fame, And Haines: Celebrity, Suicide, And The Etiquette of Envy”. The Hook Issue 0337 (http://www.readthehook.com/files/old/stories/2004/09/16/coverDaveFameAndHainesCele.html〕 In late 1983, The Deal recorded ''Time Won't Come Back'', a five-song EP produced by Richard Gottehrer.〔“The Deal, Making Records Not Road Trips.” Commonwealth: The Magazine of Virginia.1983-11-01〕 Shortly thereafter Warner Bros. severed ties with Bearsville, and the EP was never released. In 1984 Hugh Patton and Eric Schwartz left the band.〔Sendra, Tim. “Deal: Biography.” Allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/artist/deal-p552898/biography〕 Former Big Star drummer Jody Stephens briefly signed on, but left and was replaced by Mike Clark.〔Crigler, Pete (2010). Keeping It Tight In The Old Dominion: A History Of Virginia Rock Music. Dog Ear Publishing. (pp. 22-23)〕 With this new lineup The Deal began working on a second EP, provisionally titled ''Tuesday Gone To Ruin'', which was completed in late 1985. It included five new original songs, and a guitar solo by fellow Bearsville artist Todd Rundgren.〔Sendra〕 In January, 1986 Albert Grossman died of a massive coronary while flying on the Concorde to a musical convention in Europe, effectively ending Bearsville’s status as an active company in the music industry, and ending any chance for the release of the second EP.〔Van Noy, Nikki (2011). So Much To Say: Dave Matthews Band, 20 Years On The Road. Simon & Schuster. p 17〕 Roebuck and the other members of the Deal were on the verge of calling it quits when Jody Stephens, by then running Ardent Studios in Memphis, offered the band a spec deal to record an entire album. The result was ''Brave New World'', completed in 1987.〔Sendra〕 The record included some percussion contributions from Stephens as well as a few background vocals from Stephens’ Big Star band-mate Alex Chilton.〔Crigler, (p. 23)〕 The project was shopped unsuccessfully to major labels, and was eventually released independently.〔Sendra〕 It was largely a critical success, called by the Washington Post, ‘remarkably assured pop classicism,’〔Brown, Joe (1988-09-02). “Takin’ Stock of Unknown Rock.” The Washington Post.〕 and it led to The Deal being named by Musician Magazine one of the twenty best unsigned bands in the world.〔“Finally the Semi-Finalists.” Musician Magazine. 1988-06-01〕 However, sales were limited, and in fall 1988 the Deal finally broke up.〔Glauber〕 The music of the Deal remained firmly in obscurity until 2003 when a power pop independent label, Not Lame Recordings, released ''Goodbye September'', a 14-song anthology of the Deal’s music.〔Rick Schadelbauer. Amplifier Magazine. Issue 38. Sept-Oct 2003. (p. 38)〕 The record was highly praised and became one of Not Lame’s best selling releases of that year.〔Loftus, Johnny. The Deal, Goodbye September: Review. Allmusic (http://www.allmusic.com/album/goodbye-september-r622263/review)〕
Tribe of Heaven and Burning Core
In 1989, after the breakup of the Deal, Roebuck invited then-fellow-bartender Dave Matthews to write and record a folk-acoustic CD. They recorded ten songs at the Scottsville, Virginia studio of Charlottesville musician Greg Howard, calling the project Tribe Of Heaven, ''Imagine We Were''.〔Van Noy (p.18)〕 Roebuck was simultaneously working with musicians Mike Colley and TR3's Warren Richardson on another vastly different project, Burning Core. Burning Core fused elements of rap, metal, funk, and jazz and included a co-written composition with future Dave Matthews Band keyboardist Peter Griesar.〔Burning Core: Biography, CDBaby: http://www.cdbaby.com/AlbumDetails.aspx?AlbumID=burningcore〕 In 1990 Roebuck traveled to New York with both projects, but was unable to secure a major label deal.〔Van Noy (p.18)〕 Matthews went on to form the Dave Matthews Band, and Roebuck, then working as a bartender at the restaurant Eastern Standard, gave the band their first paying gig.〔Delancey, Morgan (1998). The Dave Matthews Band: Step Into the Light. ECW Press. P. 53〕 He had them perform every Tuesday night for $50.00, plus free beer and liquor.〔Van Noy (p. 25)〕 One of the songs co-written by Matthews and Roebuck on the Tribe of Heaven project, “The Song That Jane Likes,” was included on the Dave Matthews Band’s first CD ''Remember Two Things'' as well as RCA's 2004 release ''The Gorge''. The song has also been included on Volumes 12, 16, 18, and 20 of RCA's ''Live Trax Series'', all released between 2008 and 2012.〔DMB Releases http://www.dmbreleases.com/〕 15 years after its completion, Tribe of Heaven, ''Imagine We Were'' was finally put out as a nine-song independent release in 2005.〔Van Noy (p. 18)〕
