About Mark...
Mark Crozer is a founding member and chief songwriter in UK indie band International Jetsetters. He also plays guitar with The Jesus and Mary Chain and does a whole load of other stuff...
In the last 12 months International Jetsetters have become one of Oxford, England's brightest hopes performing alongside bands such as Glasvegas, Inspiral Carpets and The Whigs; gaining exposure around the world on radio stations such as the UK's BBC 6 Music and LA's KROQ FM and achieving rave reviews in local and international press. Long-running Oxford music mag Nightshift has recently gone on record to say "they might just be here to save music as we know it." No small praise from the writer who was an early champion of bands such as Radiohead, Supergrass and Foals. "Listening to International Jetsetters is like entering an indie trainspotters' paradise with enough great reference points to fill an entire review. " Nightshift again (from the November 08 issue.)
The band has been receiving rave-reviews far and wide from both online fanzines and traditional print media such as Dagger, The Big Takeover, Penny Black, Pop Matters, Delusions of Adequacy, The Culture of Me and many more.
But Mark's involvement in music doesn't end there. He's also excited to be a part of the newly-reformed line-up of one of the coolest and most influential garage rock bands of all time The Jesus and Mary Chain. Mark joined the band for their comeback gig at Coachella 2007 and hasn't looked back since. Prior to that he was Mary Chain singer Jim Reid's bass player and has done stints with other indie bands too such as Canada's Ox.
When he's not touring with either of the above bands he is honing his writing skills at home or jamming with other musicians. He's self-released two albums and worked in virtually every area of the music business you can think of from guitar tech-ing for Jackie De Shannon to tour-managing stoned indie bands to working behind the scenes in Canadian college radio. But ultimately writing and performing is his greatest love.
