Mark Beer

Mark Beer is an English musician and producer that released various records on his own Waste Records and My China Records labels between 1978 and 1981 which were distibuted by Rough Trade Records (for whom he recorded the single 'Pretty'). Also, some solo and collaborative pieces were released in Belgium and Germany on singles, EPs and compilation albums. He has always thought of his work as art rather than entertainment. He makes that distinction to emphasise his view that art is intended to nourish, whereas entertainment is intended to amuse -the difference between food and chewing gum. Over the years he has worked with many different live bands, and privately, as an experimenter. In recent years, he has been continually writing and recording. [SOURCE: BANDCAMP]
