Steven Patrick Roybal, Drums and Percussion. co-writer and producer for The Mark Christopher Band ." I was involved in sports when I was a kid but I wanted to express myself better so I thought music would be the thing, I was always the quiet one in any group or social situation , so I let my music do the talking". Influenced by such greats as Louie Bellson , Gene Krupa , and Buddy Rich, they turned drums into a solo instrument and that was exiciting to me. I was a Clarinet player with the Los Angeles Junior Philarmonic. Because of my exposure to that, it supplied me with a foundation in music. Steve has performed with many acts such as The Midnighters, The Coasters,The Drifters, Junior Walker and The Allstars, Ike Cole, Cannibal and the Headhunters, Don Sugarcane Harris, Redbone, and the list goes on and on.

Phillip Friedland Bass guitar and vocals. Born and raised in Los Angeles California.
