CWB is one of the coolest bands - however this guy is a fake. He is not Mark Loomis! But thanks for the interest....David Aguilar - lead singer CWB

Thanks. I am not sure if it was fakery or innocent mistakery, but I've changed the text to reflect that.

I knew Mark Loomis personally from back in the 1980's. It's been many years since I last saw Mark, but this guy does not sound or look like him at all to me. Mark has a deeper voice and is probably looking older than this dude. When I first met him, he had a nice house, with a jag parked out front. Last time I saw Mark, he was homeless. That is what drug addiction will do to someone. Makes me sad to think anyone would impersonate him. At the time, I was doing drugs too, but I quit.

There was a cat in Detroit for years claiming to be Mark Loomis, but wasn't. He went under the name Rusty Razor, but claimed he was Loomis. I wonder if this is the same guy. Of all the people in the world it seems a strange choice to pretend you were a former member of the Watchband. Even weirder if there were two people claiming they were Loomis and were not.

Thanks for this!
