Mark Tadijanovich

Mark had many rolls in the bands early days. Jamie Kielbiski introduced Mark to us around the end of October 1994. Jamie played him a jam tape that Jeff, Rob and him did in the basement of his house October 29th 1994. Mark decided to join the band just by listing to that tape. At the time Mark was playing bass for Loser Parade.

Mark originally played bass in the band and when Jamie left after the March 3rd 1995 show he decided to play the drums (a roll he didn't have since his days of drumming for Furry Ongion) until we decided what we wanted to do for a bass player. We could either get a drummer or another bass player. We decided to hire Jen Palmer (former member of Furry Ongion) to play at our next show, which was March 18th 1995. She only played for a week when we got Jan back into the band to play bass at our next show May 5th 1995. So it was decided that Mark would stay on the drums.

Mark had to stop his drumming career short for on August 9th 1996 Mark broke his foot in a skateboarding accident. Which caused his foot to bend at a 90 degree angle outwards. At this time the band decided to pass the sticks onto Yvan Petit-Pas (also of Furry Ongion fame)

Mark would make another appearance at our September 15th 1996 show at Poor Folks Deli to play some songs.

Finally Mark's last appearance in the band was on October 31 1997 at it's last show. Here he drummed for all three songs that were played that night.

Mark went off to Humber College to study culinary management and got his chefs papers and is now working in the food industry. Currently he is located in the Kitchener-Waterloo area and was rumored to be in a reformation of Loser Parade around August 2003 which never happened. He is currently playing bass with Vic Moya in Victory Manual.
