   About Dead Superheroes Orchestra

The Dead Superheroes Orchestra is a rock ensemble with a pitch-black wit and dazzling sound that takes you from your hometown cemetery to the depths of the Underworld and up to the bare face of the moon. Dreamed up by brains steeped in Batman, Mozart, Dostoevsky and Dante. It is the story of an angel and a boy who comes back from the dead.

The Dead Superheroes Orchestra is led by Mark Winston, a singer and composer who grew up fronting thrash metal bands in Las Vegas, New Mexico, went on to study music at University of Chicago and now daylights as bass/baritone soloist with Chicago's Rockefeller Chapel Choir. Trained in classical vocal technique as well as rock, Winston has a unique voice with raw angst and power that is capable of extreme dynamics and nuance in the lowest bass registers as well as the highs.

The Orchestra is a band of 7 instrumentalists with virtuosic skill. Mark's identical twin brother, Craig, is the band's guitarist. Trained in classical and metal, he relocated to Chicago in 2008 after a year long stint with Portland, Oregon Electro pop band, the Gentry. He also played with Vale and Azrael Ash in Boston, and Hobbs End in Las Vegas, NM. Gabriel McElwain on drums is co-songwriter with Chicago's much praised Heaven Seventies, and formerly played with the Passerines and Pixe1 and the Chronic Network. The string players have played in orchestras in Chicago and have performed with other Chicago rock bands like Voodoo and Valentine and The Passerines, as well as performing in pit orchestras for theater and opera productions. Craig Winston, McElwain, violinists Stephanie Smith and Jonathan Wang, violist Julia Berian, cellist Marian Vernon, and bassist Adam Hubbell bring to life a mesmerizing sound that has been described as "monochromatic glam", "Post-goth orchestral pop", "gothic chamber rock", "a mix of Rasputina, Jeff Buckley and David Bowie," but has most properly been described as "@$!ing amazing."
