Ex-New Yorker Mark Steiner is a seasoned Norwegian-American international recording artist, performer and producer who relocated to Oslo, Norway in 2002. His music can be described as melancholic "swamp-noir," but with lyrics which often carry a subtle sense of humor. Mark Steiner is about to release a new album under the name Mark Steiner & His Problems along with drummer Ted Parsons (ex-Swans, Prong, Killing Joke), bassist Leon Muraglia (Radio 9, OMD), guitarist Romer Paluch-Edwards, and Norwegian chanteuse Ingunn Holmen. Special guests include Czech violinist Pavel Cingl, Norwegian singer Line Saus, and Danish wingman Thomas Borge.

The present line-up of Sweet Positive is: 
Azalea So Sweet: vocals and bass guitar
Phil Shoenfelt: guitar and backing vocals
Chris Hughes: drums, percussion, loops

Together with Azalea's unbounded enthusiasm for Melbourne/Berlin rock music, it was her raw and untapped talent that first attracted the attention of renowned drummer Chris Hughes (Rowland S. Howard; Mick Harvey; Nikki Sudden; Alex Hacke; Hugo Race; Fatal Shore; Dim Locator). After Hughes recorded some demos with Sweet Positive in 2016, his erstwhile band mate Phil Shoenfelt (Khmer Rouge; Fatal Shore; Southern Cross; Nikki Sudden; Dim Locator) decided to get involved as well. The result is a five song mini album – produced by Shoenfelt – called “At Her Majesty’s Pleasure”. The CD was released by the German label Moloko + in January 2018. Songs such as “Under The Cherry Tree”  and “Kill Me” are spooky but melodic, drawing the listener into a vortex of repetitive riffs and dark, magical imagery. The cover art by Julia Chochola is also remarkable for its hypnotically suggestive swirls of red, white and black, opening pathways into the viewer’s unconscious, as does the music itself.
