-Mark Krischak is a bit of elusive person, so there is not really a lot of information about him in one place. Much can be read about him in various places about his different bands. This page will focus on his solo work. The discography lists his work with other bands.
+Mark Krischak is constantly evolving and changing projects, so there is not really a lot of information about him in one place. Yn the 1980s he started [[Heath Dog Violet Records]] which released over 150 tapes of his various bands live, at rehearsals, in the studio, and many other random places.
