Contagious Biography

Mark Allan: Lead vocals and Bass guitar: Mark is one of those lucky ones who really does not sound like any other vocalists....he has a recognizable sound that is unique. Mark fronts a live show that keeps the audience interested and anticipating the next move!

Mark has performed in various cover song bands since highschool! Using a Fender Precision bass guitar, Mark captures audiences with charm and not often seen talent in Kansas City!

Brian Lingle: Brian plays lead on a 1977 Les Paul Custom guitar. Both Max and Brian now use Roland ME-30 multi-effect units (which kick ass!!) allowing several patches for fat...hot guitar sounds!

Brian has recently purchased an Ampex guitar amp stack which added with the ME-30 and the Les Paul (plus 22 years of experience) produce sounds pleasing to all rock fans! Also a veteran of the cover tune circuit, Brian has what it takes to stand on stage and make the crowd scream for more! The newer original songs (not on the Home Remedy CD) feature more the crisp, screaming leads that Brian is more than capable of producing!

Max Brando: Max also uses a 1977 guitar....a Fender Strat! Max provides the perfect guitar combination with the unmistakingly harmonic sounds of a Fender mixed with Brian's Les Paul!

Max combines precise guitar work with harmony leads and background vocals (plus some keyboard) to create a well rounded approach to CONTAGIOUS' style of music. Max and Brian both write the majority of songs for the band, each adding to the other with different licks and styles actually defining the band's sound. Max's expertise on his guitar make for mistake free live performances!

Charlie O'Neill: Charlie is the heart beat of CONTAGIOUS! Not only does he play percussions, and sing soprano background vocals, it's his house we practice at!! We even recorded the majority of the "Home Remedy" CD in Charlie's garage!

Charlie has also added equipment to the show...trigger units that allow hundreds of different percussion sounds to be available at a switch of a button! The crowd goes nuts when he hits a drum roll across his toms....booming rich sounds!

Charlie is a natural drummer, he was able to pick up sticks and play with both hands and feet the first time he sat at a kit....some 15 years ago! Since then Charlie has proven himself as one of the best percussionists in the Kansas City area...hands down!!
