About Tony Goldmark

Tony Goldmark is the son of pedal-steel guitarist Joe Goldmark and singer/songwriter/producer Kathi Kamen-Goldmark, the latter of the Rock Bottom Remainders (a band that has counted Stephen King, Warren Zevon and Simpsons creator Matt Groening among its members). Goldmark was only 13 when the glorious power of nepotism helped his first award-awaiting album, You Bug Me! Songs Guaranteed To Annoy Your Parents, get thrust into unwilling existence in late 1996. His very first Dr. Demento airplay came a few months later, with his majestic 96-second ode to ichthyological paranoia, "I Know You're A Fish." Since then, Goldmark has scored such Dr. Demento hits as the self-explanatory "Kill The Backstreet Boys" (#9 of 2000), the anti-Creed screed "Teeth Clenched" (#3 of 2003), the smash Harry Potter/Sir Mix-A-Lot parody "Sirius Black" (#2 of 2004), the ode to a guy who doesn't know things "The Guy Who Doesn't Know Things" (#11 of 2005) and most recently, the tribute to our good friends at cable news, "The Guy On TV Is Not Happy" (#6 of 2010). So far two of Tony's Dr. Demento hits have began with the words "The Guy." Watch this space for further developments. Tony also has a web video review series in which he hilariously deconstructs the Disney parks in every way but literally, "Some Jerk With A Camera" at somejerkwithacamera.blip.tv. He is currently hard at work on his fifth album, Goldmark After Dark.
