(Redirected from Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch) Mark Wahlberg and Singer/Actor Eric West pose together at MTV Video Music Awards September, 2000

Mark Robert Michael Wahlberg (born June 5, 1971 in Dorchester, Massachusetts) is an American entertainer, and is now known primarily as an actor. He first came to fame as the younger brother of Donnie Wahlberg of the New Kids on the Block. After his brother's bubblegum pop group ended, Mark began recording as Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch, earning hits with "Good Vibrations" and "Wild Side" from Music for the People. His second LP, You Gotta Believe, was a relative failure. He was seen most prominently in a series of underwear ads from Calvin Klein, and would drop his pants as part of musical show. He then began an acting career, earning positive reviews.

Mark has admitted to having been a drug user. When he was around 15, he injured a Vietnamese man and briefly went to jail. Mark denies that the crime was racially motivated.

Walberg, a TV host. See also: Revolting Cocks. Mark Wahlberg should not be confused with Mark L. Ministry's latest album, The Houses of the Molé, was released in 2004. He decided on the previous day to go instead to New York City to meet with friends. Longtime bassist Barker left the band in 2003. He has claimed to have had a reservation to fly from his hometown of Boston back to Los Angeles on September 11, 2001, on either United Airlines Flight 175 or American Airlines Flight 11. Ministry's single "Bad Blood" appeared on the soundtrack album of The Matrix and was nominated for a 2000 Grammy award, but for the next several years, label problems prevented much recorded material from being released, except the Sphinctour album and DVD in 2002.

In spite of their growing success, Ministry was derailed by a series of drug problems and arrests, and finally, the suicide of guitarist William Tucker. When he was around 15, he injured a Vietnamese man and briefly went to jail. Mark denies that the crime was racially motivated. The three other albums were Filth Pig (1995), Dark Side of the Spoon (1999) and Animositisomina (2003). Mark has admitted to having been a drug user. The music video was a hit on MTV, and the full-length Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs was another hit. He then began an acting career, earning positive reviews. After several years of touring and recording, Ministry broke into the mainstream in 1991 with "Jesus Built My Hotrod" (co-written by Michael Balch, and Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers).

He was seen most prominently in a series of underwear ads from Calvin Klein, and would drop his pants as part of musical show. Ministry would also inspire and inform the industrial collectives of the 1990s such as Pigface and KMFDM. After his brother's bubblegum pop group ended, Mark began recording as Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch, earning hits with "Good Vibrations" and "Wild Side" from Music for the People. His second LP, You Gotta Believe, was a relative failure. Barker released his own material as Lead Into Gold and Jourgensen lent his heavy hand to treating Skinny Puppy's Rabies LP. He first came to fame as the younger brother of Donnie Wahlberg of the New Kids on the Block. Jourgensen and Barker also formed Lard with Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra, Acid Horse with Cabaret Voltaire, 1000 Homo Djs with Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor, PTP with Chris Connelly and Pailhead with Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat and Fugazi.

"Revco," as it was fondly referred to, was essentially the same band plus Belgian vocalist Luc Van Acker.

Tommy Lee Haywood. Foremost of these was Ministry's alter ego, the Revolting Cocks. Renaissance Man (1994) as Pvt. Many of these bore Ministry's signature sound and the duo's "Hypo Luxa/Hermes Pan" production imprint. The Basketball Diaries (1995) as Mickey. Throughout the late 1980s Jourgensen and Barker expanded their ideas beyond Ministry into a seemingly endless parade of side projects and collaborations. Fear (1996) as David McCall. Both albums stretched the definition of industrial to include the tight, thick soundscapes formerly occupied by thrash metal, albeit with jackhammer drums, obscure samples and unconventional electronic processing.

Traveller (1997) as Pat O'Hara. The follow-up, The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste was just as acclaimed. Boogie Nights (1997) as Eddie Adams/Dirk Diggler. The album was a smash success in the underground music scene. The Big Hit (1998) as Melvin Smiley. With Paul Barker, William Rieflin, Mike Scaccia and Chris Connelly, Jourgensen recorded The Land of Rape and Honey (1988). The Corruptor (1999) as Danny Wallace. Though Twitch did not sell well, it set the stage for Ministry's move into industrial music.

Troy Barlow. Jourgensen parted ways with bandmate Stephen George and took the band in a new, more hardcore direction for Twitch (1985). Three Kings (1999) as Sfc. The debut album was With Sympathy (1983), but sales were sluggish. The Yards (2000) as Leo Handler. The band was formed in 1981 by Alain Jourgensen. The Perfect Storm (2000) as Bobby Shatford.
