Gary Marx

Gary Marx (actually Mark Frederick Pearman ) is an English guitarist and composer.

Gary Marx was the late 1970s, singer and composer of the band Naked Voices from Leeds . The band played a few concerts in and around Leeds and recorded a demo tape . After the end of this band he met Andrew Eldritch in Leeds and founded the rock band The Sisters of Mercy with him in 1980 .

Marx's guitar playing shaped the early phase of the Sisters. After Wayne Hussey replaced Ben Gunn, who had left the Sisters, as the second guitarist in 1984 , disputes arose over the direction in which the band's sound should develop. Gary Marx composed half of the 1985 Sisters album First and Last and Always .

Annoyed, Marx left the Sisters in 1985 and founded the band Ghost Dance with the singer Anne-Marie Hurst . Ghost Dance broke up in 1990. After the end of this band he was initially active in the local music scene in Leeds for some time.

Gary Marx taught at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts during the 1990s before starting self-publishing solo albums in 2004.
