Mark Noone (born June 16, 1954) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and producer. He is best known for being the lead singer and frontman for the Slickee Boys.
Early Life
Noone was born Mark Alan Noone in Washington D.C. Discovering the Beatles early on inspired him to get a guitar and start his first band in elementary school in 1964 [1]. He graduated from Gonzaga High School in 1973, went to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and later studied guitar under the noted musician Bill Kirchen [2].
Slickee Boys
Noone joined The Slickee Boys in 1978, replacing the original lead singer, Martha Hull. Upon the addition of Noone, the Slickee Boys began to gig often, playing new material written by Noone, such as the song ‘Gotta Tell Me Why’ [3]. In 1980, Slickee Boy's alter ego rockabilly band, The Wanktones, also formed as a side project. Noone played with The Slickee Boys while bedecked in ‘ruffles, sharkskin, and shades’ until the group officially disbanded in 1991[4]. However, The Slickee Boys continued to play reunions until their last regular show at 9:30 Club on July 3, 2011, their 81st appearance. The band holds the record for playing both 9:30 Club locations. Mark Noone holds an all-time record of being the musician who has played at the 9:30 club the most as he has played with the Slickee Boys and multiple other bands[5].
Later Career and Life
Mark Noone currently plays with The Hula Monsters (joined in 1994), The Yachtsmen (formed in 2005), and King Soul (from 2007). He played with The Rhodes Tavern Troubadours from 2001 until the band broke up in 2022. He also teaches music and repairs musical instruments[6].
