love these guys, mucho respect. one of the best songs of all time. and for them to survive as an all original band after 45 years or whatever, is astounding. One thing i gotta say though, that Korg synthesizer keyboard sounds just awful. Sorry had to say it. I understand old Vox & Farfisa's are unreliable & heavy but ya gotta have that sound, man! Otherwise it sounds like 1986 Tears & those are sad! Frank, if you gotta have a modern, reliable keyboard, get one w a real sample of a Vox or Farfisa
Garland Jeffreys just posted a video of his 1981 concert performance of "96 Tears" on YouTube. Check it out - it rocks big-time! Garlands' YouTube channel is at gjeffreysadmin.
light in the loafers? LOL I was trying to find the part of the video that showed a close up of his loafers before i realized what you were talking about...LOL! I agree, in fact, he may have on bedroom slippers.
The band's frontman and songwriter is Question Mark. Library of Congress copyright registrations indicate that Rudy Martinez is his birth name. His eccentric behavior helped to briefly establish the group in the national consciousness. He claims to be a Martian who lived with dinosaurs in a past life, and he never appears in public without sunglasses. He claimed that voices told him he would still be performing "96 Tears" in the year 10,000.

This was superb! I had the pleasure of standing at the stage at ?'s right. I, too, took video and uploaded to this site. Thanks for having him at the Detroit Winter Blast! What an honor!
Great Video. ? Mark and the Mysterians are one of the most influencial bands of the 60's. 96 Tears is a timeless classic that will live on centuries after our passing. Felix

Yeh, Question Mark and the Mysterians - who practically invented Tex-Mex Farfisa fueled rock and roll - were one hit wonders.
