Mars (band)

For thoughtful child sponsors
Mars were a short-lived New York City No Wave band formed by vocalist Sumner Crane in 1975. He was soon joined by China Burg, Mark Cunningham and Nancy Arlen. The group released a single live EP in 1980 and compilation called 78 in 1986, although both releases were posthumous as the band broke up in 1978.
