MARKY RAMONE'S OLD BAND: MARKY RAMONE AND THE INTRUDERS

BACK

MARKY RAMONE HAD SINCE MID 90'S TO 2000 BAND CALLED MARKY RAMONE AND THE INTRUDERS. I WANNA KEEP ON MY SITE ARCHIVED INFORMATION AS WELL OF OLD BANDS WHAT RAMONES MEMBERS HAD. THEY ARE PART OF HISTORY. AND WITHOUT MY PAGE LOT OF INFORMATION WOULD GET LOST.

After Marky Ramone And The Intruders Marky's next band was MARKY RAMONE & THE SPEEDKINGS

UPDATE 2011:
Marky Ramone told in July, 2011, that Marky Ramone And The Intruders is gonna re-released soon including some special stuff.


BACK TO OLD INFORMATION:

On summer 2000 Marky was working on third Marky Ramone And The Intruders album. In September-October, 2000, they had a tour in South-America. See tour dates here. Also was told, the previous Russian tour was documented and available for purchase in the near future. After band quit, documentary never see daylight.

In final days, Ben Trokan who shared vocals with Johnny Pisano quit the Marky Ramone And The Intruders because of commitments that he made to finish his college education. Marky knew this in advance. Ben had joined group at 19 years old. Ben still helped write songs to contribute for the Marky Ramone And The Intruders' 3rd album. Before band quit, Ben still had planned to play in some tours.
New front man was Alex Crank. No drug problems, no stage fright and no commitments outside the band, as was written (later infos: Alex Crank passed away in December, 2008. Alex was suffering from ALS for the past 7 years, and that was reason why he passed away).

Marky Ramone And The Intruders name had changed to the Marky Ramone Group for a little while, but it was changed back. There was another band called the Intruders from 1973 who had some disco hits, but who cares?

Marky Ramone And The Intruders was doing a video of One Way Ride.




ARCHIVED INFORMATION:
MESSAGE FROM THE MARKY: EUROPEAN TOUR IN 2000

"Hey everybody, the tour in Europe (2000) kicked fucking ass! Three times as many people as the last tour. The tour bus kicked ass. The parties were great and we entered into a blizzard in Oslo where it was 15 degrees below zero and 80 mph winds, but we still did the show. I want to thank everyone who came out to the shows and the great European reviews to my album "The Answer to Your Problems?". Italy and Germany and Scandinavia also Greece were fucking rocking! Wanna thank the promoters and everybody involved for making this the most successful tour of Europe. We're already at this point planning another one within the next eight months."

SOUTH-AMERICA VIDEO ETC.:
Marky brought his video camera for last South America tour (as he always does for every tour), and he says he got enough incredible footage. These videos will have three hours worth of footage of the Intruders in South America 1999. There are big, enthusiastic crowds down there, and great shows. This was shot on Mark's Hi-8 video camera, the same camera he used to shoot Ramones Around The World. Each tape will be autographed by the band. The tapes will cost $15, plus shipping and handling. Marky expected to be selling them around the beginning of March, but it didn't happened.
