Overdrive
1979 - 1983
Overdrive

Overdrive was the first professionally working band Mark was in. It consisted of longtime friends Mike Carsey - Guitars, Jimmi Ward & Randy Ferreira - Bass, and Mark Peña - Drums. All of the band members were 15 years old when Overdrive started gigging throughout the San Francisco Bay Area club scene. They opened for such acts as Randy Hansen, Metallica, Loudness, Ratt, Quiet Riot and many others as well as headlined all of the major clubs in the S.F. Bay Area. They built up a strong following in the early eighties hard rock scene, and it was a great time for them as they learned the ropes of the professional music world.
