Artist Bio:
? (Question Mark) & The Mysterians is an American garage rock band formed in Bay City, Michigan in 1962. The band's most notable member is lead vocalist Rudy Martinez, who goes by the stage name "? (Question Mark)." The band is best known for their 1966 hit song "96 Tears," which reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song features Martinez's distinctive and impassioned vocals, as well as a prominent organ riff.


Despite their initial success with "96 Tears," ? & The Mysterians struggled to replicate the song's popularity with subsequent releases. The band continued to perform and record music throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, but never achieved the same level of commercial success. Nevertheless, they remain a cult favorite among fans of garage rock and are considered pioneers of the genre.
