Raised on a steady diet of Led Zepplin, the Beatles, Stones, The Animals, The Kinks, The Who, Aerosmith and Gun's 'N Roses as an imprint to musical forays, Mark Hendryx of Otherworld is inspired by the guys that wrote the book on rock & roll. Mark picked up his first guitar sometime in the 4th grade after having drummed "Whole Lotta Love" into his head at school with a 45 Close and Play. I was determined to play and the first song I learned was "House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals. "Another seminal moment in my life was that one and remebering the first Beatles tune I sung along with "Hard Days Night," and then the Stones came out with Beggars Banquet - what an album" says Mark. This provided me with the foundation for true Rock 'N Roll and classic rock. Another key influence was Bowie and "the first album I ever bought was 'Diamond Dogs,' a true classic." Otherworld is headed up by singer/songwriter
Mark Hendryx and Jon Green on guitar.
The recently reviewed (by Illinois Entertainer) Sonic Spirit LP states "OtherWorld vocalist/guitarist Mark Hendryx sings with and emotional power reminiscent of Bono." Steve Gillis, former drummer for the Chicago based band Filter, produced the Sonic Spirit LP (available on our myspace page). "Automatic" from the original Sonic Dream EP was aired in '04 by James Van Osdel at 94.7, the Zone. Another track, "Before You" was also aired on Q101 by local DJ Chris Payne.
The most recent studio effort by OtherWorld was at Studio Chicago and legendary producer Chuck Kawal mixed "24 Hour Sun" our latest record. Check out "Alleluia My Love" and "I Just Want to Say Hello," OtherWorld's latest tracks. Stay tuned....
