Marco: Guitar/Vocals/Keyboards and Resident Maniac
Marco strums the geetar and contributes to the male lead vocals in The Reflex, and along with Mandi, is hoping to give Roxette a run for their money. His addiction to Frogger is, by this point, way out of control as is his vintage collection of Trapper Keepers...sweet!

Marco, before Prom 1989 and now doing what he does best...making faces.

Marco endorses the following gear: 
  A revolutionary way to run all of your audio, midi, and even power cables via one cable. Completely eliminate the "Spaghetti Jungle" going to and from your rig overnight. If you are a guitarist you MUST check this out, it absolutely rocks!

Superior sounding inner ear phones. The most natural sounding I have ever heard. It is literally like having a guitar cabinet shoved in my ear, it sounds that good!
Great modeling amps, from the guys who started it all. I use a Pod X3 Live exclusively for the plethora of 80s retro tones you hear every night. Oh yeah...no amps either, this is all direct too!

Great guitars and super cool design. I am now using these (five of them) exclusively every night with The Reflex. Bye, bye strats.

Floydroseclub.com The ultimate site about the killer Floyd Rose guitars, run by yours truly so please check it out!

The ultimate pickups, period. I've been using Lace Sensors for years and  recently upgraded to Lace Sensor Hot Gold HSS kit in all my axes. The Lace Humbuckers are one of the very few pickups that can be a humbucker or a single coil because they are actually two single coils mated together. No more pseudo single coil sound, this is the real deal! No hum either, even from the single coil pickups thanks to their revolutionary design.

They make the customized picks for everyone from Def Leppard and Poison, to INXS, Loverboy and even a little band called The Reflex.

Great long lasting strings with a great feel. I these exclusively on all my non-Floyd Rose SpeedLoader and acoustic guitars.

These are the guys that have made the custom pickguards you see on all my guitars. They can put just about anything on a pickguard!

The best amp and gear covers on the Planet.

Super tough and cool pedal boards. Hands down the best out there!

What can I say, it gives me wings! Helps me get through practice and the gig every night.

She is not related to Christie Brinkley, but thank you for asking.

Michael aka "Belinkie": Lead Vocals/Keyboards/Dream Date
Michael fell off the turnip truck (literally) onto his head only to find out he had a knack for singing classic 80's tunes. After perfecting his Michael Hutchence, Prince and Dexy's Midnight Runner's impressions he did a stint dealing Pop Rocks on street corners in South East DC. He's now in a much better place fronting The Reflex and getting treatment for his ADD. If you get a chance please tell Michael he is a swell guy, his fragile ego needs the stroking.

Marc:  Drums/Vocals/Educator

As the illegitimate child of Ms. Pac-Man and a Roland electronic drum kit, Marc was destined for musical infamy. By the age of 7 he was already recognized as a child prodigy and his first break came playing the roto-toms for Jan Hammer on his Miami Vice sessions. Marc's knack for syncing his playing with the bouncing breasts in the show's opening credits gained him quick notoriety and soon he was a fixture on the soundtrack scene. Sessions for Charles in Charge, The Fall Guy, Small Wonder, and his now legendary Growing Pains performance are just a few highlights from his exhaustive TV resume. But all of that success couldn't hide the demons he was battling inside. A secret addiction to Pixy Stix laced with Pop Rocks (known on the street as Electric Boogaloo) had long haunted Marc and he eventually hit rock bottom when appearing on Celebrity Double Dare he defiled himself during the Physical Challenge. Those were indeed dark times. To recover Marc spent years in seclusion honing his craft with nothing but a metronome and a Speak 'n Spell as his musical accompaniment. The hard work eventually paid off in 1987 when Marc was tapped by Motley Crue to replace drummer Tommy Lee after his spinning drum set crashed during the "Wild Side" video shoot. And he has been on top ever since...
