Marky Ramone is best known for the 15 years he spent drumming for the
legendary Ramones. Prior to joining the Ramones, Marky played with an array
of influential musicians dating back to his high school years when he was a
member of the Brooklyn based hard rock band, Dust. Recording two albums
with his friends, Richie Wise (guitar and vocals) and Kenny Aaronson (bass)
for Neil Bogart’s Karma Sutra/Buddha label.
While Dust was disbanding, Marky began hanging out at Max’s Kansas City,
where he met Max’s house D.J. Wayne County. He joined forces with Wayne to
form Wayne County and The Backstreet Boys. Wayne’s outrageous stage
performance and cross-dressing attracted many fans and help solidify a cult
following. After a year and a half of playing in the New York area and not
able to generate record company interest, they decided it was best to move
on.
