Expect extra percussion at Mark Castro Band’s next gig because the toe-tapping crowd will be wearing ski boots.
The Reno band performs Saturday, Feb. 6 at the Pub at Sierra-at-Tahoe.
“I find that the ski crowd tends to be educated and definitely healthy, and they appreciate what we do,” said singer-bassist Satia, whose real name is Doris Runcie. “For years I used to say, ‘This is Doris and I have a rock band,’ and nobody believed me because everybody has an Aunt Doris or a Grandma Doris. I had to come up with something a little more exciting.”
The Mark Castro Band plays what Satia calls “male-oriented rock” — music from the late 1950s through the mid-70s.
“We do a lot of (Jimi) Hendrix, Beatles, Santana, Cream, Led Zeppelin and Jeff Beck,” Castro said. “We’ll take an original version of a song and then we’ll add to it.”
Castro played in the Bay Area for several years, opening for artists such as Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose, Roy Buchanan and Tommy Castro, who is not related to Mark.
He moved to Reno and in 2003 with Satia began his trio. Jeremy Kluck has been the drummer for the past three years.
“Mark practically wakes up and goes to sleep with a guitar in his hand, and he has for about 30 or 40 years,” Satia said. “He doesn’t stop. He can go faster than anybody, anywhere. He can play anything in just about any kind of style.”
A career highlight for Castro was touring and recording with Inner Circle, a reggae band best known for “Cops” theme song “Bad Boys.”
Inner Circle needed a guitarist after Neal Schon began playing full time with Journey. Castro appears on Inner Circle’s 1982 album “Something So Good.”
“They play pop songs,” Castro said. “You can’t tell it’s reggae until you put the drum on it.”
In recent years, the Mark Castro Band has performed at annual events such as Street Vibrations and The Rib Cook-off, Hot August Nights swap meets, the Reno Toy Run, numerous motorcycle runs which benefit the community, as well as regular clubs, ski resorts, and casinos, weddings, private and corporate parties. Among the bike clubs include Vietnam Veterans, Disabled American Veterans, Righteous Ones, Vagos, Branded Few, Iron Nation, Hell's Angels, Boozefighters, Soldier's for Jesus and The Northern Nevada Confederation of Bike Clubs.
