hello to all my old friends and new.
i know i have been mia for about 2 years now. i got.hit by a car, and now carry a few lbs of titanium and Teflon in my hip, femur knee, tibula fibula and ankle! I'm also now known as the "half million dollar leg man"
there was insurance drama, to many pain pills, learning to walk and all that.....
BUT - The Vickroids just reformed with a new drummer. look out for some new tunes and summer tour to a small town dive near you! Let us know if you want The Vickroids to come to your town!

Hey Mark Bro it's good to see you back here and even better to know your still with us - sounds like you have been through hell mate - looking forward to hearing your new material - keep up the spirit bro :)
Welcome back Marky!!!! Sorry to hear about your accident, but I know what it's like. I got hit by an impala when I was 19. Luckily got away with just torn cartilage in my knee. Glad to here the vickroids are back. Hopefully I can see ya live soon.
Yea, I got SMOKED! It's a damn miracle I am still alive, let alone walking etc and not driving a wheelchair with a straw or something. A dude going 45mph ran a light and nailed me in the left leg. Knocked me outta my shoes, 15' in the air. I came down on my face [somehow not breaking my damnfool neck or any other facial bones] and was in a coma for a few days. I'm all good now, though.
I think I got refunds issues to anyone who bought the album and didn't get their copy due to....my issues.
If there's anyone I forgot, just email me here.
Yea, and anyone who wants a listen, google vickroids, or pretty much the entire record is on my profile here at the cigar box nation.
I'm looking forward to checking out what all my buddies are up to!
Whoa!! I wondered what happened to you, Mark! Sounds like a bit o bad luck, but sure glad to hear that you're back rockin'. You cant keep the Vickroids down!!

Welcome back dude-only last week I was checking up around the web and wondering,not for the first time, where you got to.
Car versus Marky Vickroid-and the final score is.. car 0 Mark 1.
